De Dietrich 88014956 cable RX12 12m

This article is an ignition cable, type RX12, 12 m long, intended for connecting the ignition transformer to the ignition electrode in a burner or boiler system. Cables of this type are silicone-insulated to withstand the high voltage and elevated temperatures near the combustion head. The cable carries the stepped-up secondary voltage from the transformer to the electrode, where it creates the spark that lights the fuel-air mixture. When selecting a replacement cable, the key parameters are length and the connector pattern at each end. The cable must match the terminal type on the transformer and the electrode connection (often a spade terminal or a high-voltage plug). A hardened or cracked insulation will allow the spark to leak to ground, which may appear as a transformer failure or a weak spark. Always check the condition of the cable during ignition system service; a cable that feels stiff or shows surface cracks should be replaced even if the burner still fires intermittently. The 12 m length is suitable for installations where the transformer is mounted at some distance from the burner, such as in larger boilers or remote burner enclosures. No additional technical data is provided for this specific article beyond its brand and catalogue references. Ensure the cable is routed away from sharp edges and hot surfaces to prolong its service life.
