Fire-resistant power cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 12x1.5 RE/2.5 B60622

Fire-resistant power cable – safety and reliability in critical installations

The (N)HXCH FE180/E90 cable is an advanced solution for installations requiring the highest level of fire safety. Designed for transmitting energy in 0.6/1 kV circuits, it is characterized by exceptional fire resistance and the absence of toxic gas emissions during combustion. These are key properties in public buildings, industrial facilities, and anywhere where the protection of life and property is a priority.

This cable is particularly recommended for use in places with an increased risk of fire, such as hospitals, data centers, tunnels, mines, or power plants. Its construction provides not only protection against the spread of fire but also maintains electrical functions during a fire – which is extremely important for alarm systems, emergency lighting, and other life-saving devices.

Construction and properties

The (N)HXCH FE180/E90 cable consists of copper conductors with a cross-section of 1.5 mm², insulated with a halogen-free material. The construction with 12 cores ensures flexibility and ease of installation. The cores are arranged concentrically, which increases the mechanical strength of the cable. The outer jacket made of a fire-resistant material provides additional protection against external factors and high temperatures.

• Fire resistance: meets the requirements of IEC 60331, guaranteeing no spread of flames in the event of a fire.
• Halogen-free: no emission of toxic gases during combustion – increased safety for people and the environment.
• Function maintenance: maintaining the continuity of the electrical circuit during a fire (according to EN 50200 and DIN 4102-12).
• Wide temperature range: permissible operating temperature from -30°C to +90°C (mobile installations from -5°C to +50°C).
• Thermal resistance: permissible temperature of the cores up to 90°C and during short-circuit up to 250°C.
• Flexibility: facilitates installation and routing of the cable in difficult conditions.

Applications and benefits

The (N)HXCH FE180/E90 cable is an investment in the safety and reliability of the electrical installation. Its use translates to:

• Increased safety for people in the building or facility.
• Protection of property from losses caused by fire.
• Ensuring the continued operation of critical systems during a fire (alarms, emergency lighting).
• Compliance with legal requirements and standards regarding fire safety.
• Long-term and trouble-free operation thanks to high-quality materials and precise construction.
