Protectowire is a heat detection cable containing heat-sensitive materials. When the outer covering melts, the wires will make contact and complete the circuit, activating the fire system. This can be a critical extra safety feature especially if the driver becomes incapacitated in an accident.

Mounting advice:
  • Mount along the ceiling of the cabin using an "S-pattern" with 250-300mm (9.75-11.75") space between bends
  • Make bends by hand and use care to not crimp or crease the outer sheath and create a weak spot
  • Some additional wiring may be required between the Protectowire and your system's electrical trigger
  • Keep away from heat sources including the engine compartment, transmission, differential, exhaust, direct sunlight, or hot surfaces
  • Keep away from any sharp edges that could cut or cause an abrasion on the sheathing
  • An inline plug can be used to disconnect the sensor cable during storage, transport, etc.
  • See the PDF link below for additional use and install information.
The cable we sell is set to trigger at 356°F (180°C).

Currently, Protectowire is only compatible with certain electric systems (including Lifeline).

Select a cable length from the menu above. For motorsport use we typically recommend up to 3 meters.
