Are high-temperature cables automatically “Fire-Resistant”?

No. This is a critical engineering distinction.

High-Temperature Cables (like Silicone or PTFE) are designed to operate continuously in high ambient heat (e.g., 200℃). However, if exposed to direct flames, a standard silicone cable will eventually burn.

Fire-Resistant Cables (like IEC 60331 compliant cables) are designed to survive direct fire (up to 950℃) for a specific duration (e.g., 2 hours) to maintain critical emergency life-safety circuits.
