Fire-resistant power cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 12x4.0 RE/6.0 B60650

Fire-resistant power cable – safety and reliability of installations

The cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 12x4,0 RE/6,0 is an advanced solution for installations requiring the highest level of fire safety. Designed for use in public buildings, industrial facilities, and any location where maintaining power continuity during a fire is critical. The cable’s construction ensures not only fire resistance but also sustained electrical functionality, which is essential for alarm, fire suppression, and evacuation systems.

This cable exhibits high resistance to temperature and external factors, guaranteeing long-term, reliable operation. Made with copper current-carrying conductors of 4 mm² cross-section, it meets stringent safety and quality standards. It is a multi-core cable (12 cores), facilitating installation and enabling simultaneous power supply to multiple devices.

Construction and properties

The cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 is engineered for extreme operating conditions. Its halogen-free insulation ensures no toxic gases are released during combustion, minimizing risks to human health and the environment. Additionally, the cable maintains electrical functionality during fire conditions (compliant with EN 50200 and DIN 4102-12), meaning it continues to supply power to critical equipment even under mechanical or thermal damage for a specified duration.

• Fire resistance: Complies with IEC 60331, confirming fire endurance.
• Halogen-free: No release of toxic gases during combustion – enhanced safety for people and environment.
• Functionality under fire: Compliance with EN 50200 and DIN 4102-12 ensures uninterrupted power during emergencies.
• Wide temperature range: Operation from -30°C to +90°C (current-carrying conductors up to +90°C, short-circuit up to +250°C) ensures reliability in diverse climatic conditions.
• Flexibility: Enables easy installation even in hard-to-reach areas – minimum bending radius for fixed installation is 15 x cable diameter.
• Rated voltage: 0,6/1 kV – universal applicability across various electrical installations.

Applications and installation

The cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 is primarily used in fixed, indoor, and outdoor installations (provided UV protection is ensured). It performs exceptionally well in public buildings (hospitals, schools, office complexes), industrial facilities (factories, power plants), as well as tunnels, mines, and other high-fire-risk locations.

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable standards and safety regulations. It is essential to maintain the correct bending radius and protect the cable from mechanical damage. Due to its construction, this cable is easy to handle and connect to various electrical devices.
