Elpar HDGS FE180 Fire Resistant Cable 3x2.5

The Elpar HDGS FE180 is a specialized fire-resistant power cable engineered to maintain circuit integrity under extreme conditions. Featuring three conductors with a cross-section of 2.5 mm², this cable is designed for critical infrastructure where maintaining power supply during a fire is essential for safety and evacuation systems. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance in demanding environments, providing a dependable solution for fire protection installations.

Advantages

This cable offers exceptional thermal resistance, allowing it to function effectively even when exposed to direct fire. The design prioritizes the continuity of electrical supply for emergency equipment, which is vital for public safety. With a wide operating temperature range from -30°C to +80°C, it remains flexible and durable across various environmental conditions. The red outer sheath allows for easy identification as a fire-safety component within complex wiring systems.

Suitable for

• Emergency lighting systems
• Fire alarm and detection installations
• Smoke extraction control systems
• Emergency power supply for critical infrastructure
• Public and industrial building safety networks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for general-purpose residential wiring where fire resistance is not a regulatory requirement. It is also not suitable for applications involving constant mechanical stress or submersion in water, as it is designed primarily for fixed installations.

Key specifications

• Number of conductors: 3
• Conductor cross-section: 2.5 mm²
• Operating temperature: -30°C to +80°C
• Flammability class: Eca
• Cable shape: Hose
• Color: Red

How to use

The cable should be installed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical regulations and fire safety standards. It is designed for fixed installation, typically within cable trays, conduits, or directly mounted on walls. Ensure that the bending radius is respected during installation to avoid damaging the internal fire-resistant layers. Connections should be made using appropriate fire-rated junction boxes to maintain the integrity of the entire circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required fire resistance rating for your specific project
• Ensure the 2.5 mm² cross-section meets the load requirements of your equipment
• Confirm the total length needed for your installation
• Check compatibility with existing fire-rated mounting hardware

Usage recommendations: Always handle the cable with care to prevent damage to the insulation. Ensure that all terminations are performed using certified fire-resistant components to guarantee the full performance of the FE180 system.
