Fire-resistant power cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 2x10 RE/10 B60640

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

The (N)HXCH FE180/E90 2x10 RE/10 cable is an advanced solution designed for installations requiring uninterrupted power supply during a fire. Its construction, based on copper conductors with a cross-section of 10 mm², combined with fire-resistant insulation, ensures safe and reliable operation even under extreme conditions. This cable is particularly recommended for applications where a power interruption could have serious consequences – such as fire protection systems, emergency lighting, and life-supporting equipment.

Construction and properties

The (N)HXCH FE180/E90 cable features a halogen-free sheath that minimizes the emission of toxic gases during a fire. It complies with stringent fire-resistance standards (IEC 60331) and maintains electrical functionality for 90 minutes (E90, DIN 4102-12), ensuring that critical circuits remain powered even during a fire. The copper conductors, classified as Class 1 or 2 (per EN 60228, IEC 60228), provide high conductivity and energy efficiency. Additionally, the operating temperature range of -30°C to 90°C and UV resistance make this cable versatile and suitable for diverse environmental conditions.

Applications and benefits

This cable is primarily used in public buildings, industrial facilities, and any location requiring high fire resistance and continuous power supply. It performs ideally in:

• Fire alarm and protection systems: Ensures reliable operation even during a fire.
• Emergency lighting: Enables safe evacuation in case of power failure.
• Data centers and server rooms: Protects sensitive equipment from fire damage.
• Industrial installations: Guarantees continuity of production processes during emergencies.
• Public buildings (hospitals, schools, airports): Ensures user safety in case of fire hazards.

By choosing the (N)HXCH FE180/E90 cable, you invest in the safety and reliability of your electrical installation. Its fire-resistant properties and ability to maintain electrical functionality can save lives and reduce material losses in the event of a fire. This makes it the ideal choice for professional installers and end customers seeking the highest quality solutions.
