Self-Regulating Heating Cables – FailSafe Ultimo (FSU)
FailSafe Ultimo is a self-regulating heating cable designed for frost protection and temperature maintenance of pipes and tanks.
It offers maximum flexibility thanks to its field-cuttable length, perfectly adapting to configurations without requiring complex calculations.
Thanks to its self-regulating technology, our FSU automatically adjusts its output power based on the substrate temperature. This heating cable will not overheat or burn, even if it overlaps itself.
This self-regulating heating cable complies with DNV, EAC, ATEX, IEC, IECEx standards, and European Union requirements, ensuring optimal safety and reliability in the most demanding environments.
Please contact us for any specific requirements.

The FailSafe Ultimo (FSU) self-regulating heating cable guarantees safe and efficient thermal protection for temperature maintenance and frost protection: it stands out for its ease of installation, enhanced durability thanks to its corrosion-resistant fluoropolymer jacket, and its ability to deliver up to 75 W/m at 10 °C.
