elpar halogen-free power cable N2XH-J 5x2.5 mm² 0.6/1 kV B2ca on drum

elpar halogen-free power cable N2XH-J 5x2.5 mm² 0.6/1 kV B2ca on drum is a fixed-installation power cable designed for circuits requiring improved fire performance and minimal hazardous emissions. The cable contains five 2.5 mm² conductors, insulated and sheathed in halogen-free material, and is rated for 0.6/1 kV systems. Supplied on a drum, it is convenient for transport and staged deployment in commercial, residential and emergency power installations where low smoke and non-halogenic behaviour are required.

Advantages

The halogen-free construction reduces the release of corrosive and toxic gases in case of fire, while low smoke emission improves visibility during evacuation and maintenance. The B2ca fire performance class provides high reaction-to-fire characteristics compared with lower-rated cables. A five-core configuration with 2.5 mm² conductors supports multi-phase or combined power and control circuits, and the drum supply simplifies handling and installation over long runs.

Suitable for

• Fixed power distribution in commercial and residential buildings
• Cable trays, conduits and ducting where halogen-free materials are required
• Emergency circuits, stairwell and escape-route power installations
• Power and control circuits combining multiple conductors in a single sheath

Key specifications

• Conductor count: 5 cores
• Conductor size: 2.5 mm² per core
• Rated voltage: 0.6/1 kV
• Sheath and insulation: halogen-free compound
• Fire performance: class B2ca (reaction to fire)
• Supply format: wound on drum for transport and deployment

How to use

Plan the cable route, ensuring compliance with local electrical and fire safety regulations for fixed installations. Unwind the cable from the drum and secure the drum to prevent uncontrolled rotation. Use suitable cable pulling equipment and lubricants if required to avoid damage to the sheath. Terminate conductors with appropriate connectors or lugs rated for 2.5 mm² conductors and the system voltage. Ensure proper earthing and segregation from signal cables where necessary.

Usage recommendations

Store the drum in a dry, shaded area and protect cable ends from moisture and contamination before installation. Avoid sharp bends and exceeding manufacturer-recommended pulling tensions. Verify compatibility with tray, conduit or cleat systems and follow relevant wiring regulations and fire-safety guidelines during installation and inspection.
