Power cable elpar N2XH-O 2x1.5 mm² 0.6/1 kV B2ca (without protective conductor)

Elpar N2XH-O 2x1.5 mm² power cable is a fixed-installation electrical cable designed for circuits with rated voltage 0.6/1 kV. The cable has two insulated conductors with a cross-sectional area of 1.5 mm² each and is supplied without a separate protective conductor. Classified B2ca for reaction to fire, the cable is intended for applications that require reduced contribution to fire development. Typical applications include lighting circuits, small power circuits and general wiring within residential and commercial buildings.

Advantages

The cable’s B2ca classification ensures reduced flame propagation and lower heat release compared with lower reaction-to-fire classes, improving safety in confined spaces. Its N2XH-O construction provides halogen-free, low smoke characteristics, which reduce corrosive gases and dense smoke in case of fire. With two 1.5 mm² conductors and 0.6/1 kV rated voltage, the product is suitable for common lighting and small power installations while being compact and easy to route in conduits and ducting.

Suitable for

• Lighting circuits in residential and commercial premises
• Small power circuits for appliances and equipment up to the cable’s rated capacity
• Fixed wiring in buildings where reduced reaction to fire is required
• Installation in conduits, trunking and cable ducts indoors

Key specifications

• Conductor configuration: 2 cores
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per core
• Rated voltage: 0.6/1 kV
• Reaction to fire class: B2ca
• Design: halogen-free, low smoke (N2XH-O)
• Supplied without separate protective conductor
• Intended use: fixed installation inside buildings

How to use

Install the cable as fixed wiring according to applicable national and local electrical installation standards. Route the cable through conduits, trunking or cable ducts, avoiding mechanical damage and excessive bending radii. Connect the two conductors to the line and neutral terminals of the circuit; provide protective earth using a separate protective conductor where required by regulations. Ensure correct conductor identification and secure terminations with appropriate connectors or terminal blocks rated for 1.5 mm² conductors. Test continuity and insulation resistance after installation before energising the circuit.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for indoor fixed wiring where reduced reaction to fire and low smoke/halogen-free behaviour are required. Do not use the cable as a substitute for circuits that explicitly require an integrated protective conductor; where protective earthing is mandatory, run a separate protective conductor in parallel or select a cable with an appropriate protective conductor. Follow local electrical codes for current-carrying capacity and temperature ratings when determining maximum load.
