Fire-resistant power cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 3x16 RM/16 B60605

Fire-resistant power cable – safety and reliability of installation

The power cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 3x16 RM/16 is an advanced solution designed for installations requiring a high level of fire safety. Engineered for reliable power supply in critical applications, this cable combines durability, resistance to extreme conditions, and compliance with rigorous standards.

Construction and properties

This cable features a design that ensures continued electrical functionality even during a fire. Made with copper current-carrying conductors of 16 mm² cross-section, it exhibits high temperature resistance—up to 90°C under normal operating conditions and up to 250°C during short-circuit events. The fire-resistant insulation and halogen-free composition minimize the risk of toxic gas emission during combustion, which is critical for protecting health and life. The conductors are stranded, ensuring flexibility and ease of installation.

Applications and benefits

This cable is widely used in public utility facilities, industrial buildings, and anywhere high fire resistance and uninterrupted power supply during emergencies are required. It performs ideally in:

• Public utility buildings: hospitals, schools, airports – ensuring safe operation of alarm systems, emergency lighting, and other critical equipment.
• Heavy industry: manufacturing plants, refineries – where fire risk is elevated.
• Data centers: protection of sensitive data and assurance of continuous server operation.
• Tunnels and underground installations: high resistance to moisture and mechanical damage.
• Fire protection systems: powering fire pumps, smoke detectors, and other life-saving devices.

Thanks to its properties, the (N)HXCH FE180/E90 cable guarantees:

• Fire resistance: complies with IEC 60331, ensuring continued electrical function during fire exposure.
• Halogen-free: no release of toxic gases during combustion enhances user safety.
• High durability: resistance to extreme temperatures and environmental conditions ensures long-term operation.
• Flexibility: simplifies installation even in challenging conditions.
• Standards compliance: meets requirements of European safety standards (EN 50200, DIN 4102-12).

This cable is an investment in the safety and reliability of electrical installations—for professionals involved in installation and end-users expecting the highest quality product.
