Fire-resistant power cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 7x2.5 RE/2 B60619

Fire-resistant power cable – safety and reliability

This fire-resistant power cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 7x2,5 RE/2,5 is designed to provide the highest level of safety and reliability in electrical installations. Rated for operation in circuits up to 0.6/1 kV, it performs exceptionally well in areas with elevated fire safety requirements. The cable exhibits high fire resistance, confirmed by certifications and compliance tests according to IEC 60331 and EN 50200 standards.

This cable is particularly recommended for use in public utility buildings, industrial facilities, and any location where protection against fire spread is critical. The cable’s construction ensures continued functionality even under extreme fire conditions for a specified duration (E90), which is crucial for maintaining power supply continuity and ensuring personnel safety.

Construction and properties

The cable consists of seven copper conductors, each with a cross-section of 2.5 mm². These conductors are insulated with silicone rubber, providing flexibility and high-temperature resistance. The cable is halogen-free, meaning it emits no toxic gases during combustion — a vital feature for health and environmental protection. Additionally, the cable meets low smoke emission requirements according to EN 61034-2.

Important operating temperature ranges: -30°C to +90°C for fixed installations, and -5°C to +50°C for movable connections. The maximum allowable operating temperature of the conductor is 90°C, rising to 250°C during short-circuit conditions. The minimum bending radius is 15 times the cable’s outer diameter, facilitating installation even in confined spaces.

Applications and benefits

• Fire resistance: Maintains electrical circuit integrity during fire for a specified time (E90), minimizing failure risk and enhancing safety.
• Halogen-free: No emission of toxic gases during combustion protects human health and the natural environment.
• Wide operating temperature range: Enables use in diverse environmental conditions, both indoors and outdoors.
• Flexibility: Copper conductors with rubber insulation ensure easy installation and adaptation to specific site conditions.
• Versatility: Suitable for public buildings, industrial facilities, and any location requiring high fire resistance.
• Standards compliance: Meets stringent European safety and quality standards (EN 60332-1-2).

This cable is an investment in the safety and reliability of electrical installations — the ideal choice for professional installers and end-users who value the highest quality and product durability.
