Halogen-free power cable N2XCH 0,6/1,0 kV 2x2.5 RE/2 B61801

Shielded, halogen-free, non-flammable power cable

This cable is designed for permanent installation in buildings where safety is paramount — especially in public spaces, hospitals, schools, or facilities with high population density. Its construction ensures not only power transmission but also minimizes the risk of fire spread and the emission of toxic gases in case of fire.

Copper conductors of Class 1 comply with EN 60228 requirements — they are rigid yet easy to install in junction boxes and distribution boards. A cross-section of 2.5 mm² is sufficient to supply most final circuits: lighting, sockets, and household appliances. The metallic screen (RE) provides protection against electromagnetic interference — critical in areas where control or signal cables run alongside.

Safety at the highest standard level

The cable meets the highest requirements of class B2ca-s1-d0-a1 according to EN 13501-6, meaning:

• Does not propagate flame, even in cable bundles,
• Low smoke emission — s1 is the most restricted class,
• No burning droplets or particles — d0 eliminates the risk of fire spread via falling debris,
• Minimal acid gas emission — a1 indicates low levels of halogen acids, significantly reducing equipment corrosion and health risks.

Halogen-free — does not release chlorine or bromine during combustion. This is critical for protecting electronic equipment and personnel during emergency situations.

Installation and operating conditions

The cable can be installed in environments as cold as -5°C — no pre-heating is required before installation. Continuous operating temperature is up to 90°C, and during short-circuit (max. 5 seconds), conductors withstand up to 250°C. Minimum bending radius during installation is 15x cable diameter — compatible with standard installation tools.

Weight of approximately 214 kg/km makes it heavier than non-screened cables — but the screen is an integral part of the design and cannot be omitted in installations requiring electromagnetic protection. It is not suitable for direct burial — intended for indoor use only.

This is the choice for installers who demand no compromises: not just a current conductor, but a critical component of the safety system.
