Unless you're running cables inside an oven just buy SOOW aka EPDM cables. They are the recognized standard for flexible, rugged cable assemblies resistant to just about everything. Silicone rubber is only used in very special cases because it's not as UV resistant or mechanically resilient.

Sorry, not available where I am, nor do I see USB, coaxial cables etc. of that type.

AFAIK there's nothing about the SOOW spec that requires EPDM.
