Heating cable HiSmart HT260201, self-regulating floor/pipe heating, 600 W total, 50 m length

Electric Heating Cable HiSmart HT260201 is a 50 m, 600 W thin constant-power underfloor heating cable intended for indoor floor and pipe applications. With a rated output of 12 W/m and a 3.6 mm outer diameter, the cable is suitable for installation under tiles, laminate, wood and stone where a low-profile solution is required. The twin-conductor design enables single-end connection and simplifies installation in renovation projects and confined spaces. Inner FEP insulation, an aluminum shielding layer and a PVC outer jacket provide thermal and mechanical protection, while IP68 rating and appropriate insulation make the cable safe for use in wet zones when installed according to instructions. The cable is intended to be controlled with a thermostat to maintain required floor temperature and optimize energy consumption.

Advantages

The HiSmart HT260201 cable delivers uniform heat along its full length with a solid heating core and fixed 12 W/m power output, minimizing hot spots and ensuring predictable performance. Its slim 3.6 mm profile and flexible construction make it easy to embed in tile adhesive or levelling compound without raising floor height significantly. Twin-conductor single-end connection reduces installation time and complexity in bathrooms, corridors and other areas with limited access. Built-in aluminum shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, while FEP insulation and a PVC jacket increase durability and mechanical resistance. The IP68 protection class and certified design support safe use in wet areas.

Suitable for

• Under-tile and underfloor heating in bathrooms, kitchens and corridors
• Renovation projects with limited installation height
• Pipe trace heating and frost protection of small-diameter pipes
• Residential and commercial rooms requiring even low-profile floor heating

How to use

Select the cable length and spacing based on the required heat output (W/m²) and the heated area. A commonly used spacing in standard rooms is approximately 12 cm; to estimate cable length divide the heated floor area (m²) by the spacing in metres. For example: 6 m² ÷ 0.12 m = 50 m. Lay the heating cable into tile adhesive or levelling compound following layout rules and the manufacturer’s installation instructions, avoiding overlaps and maintaining the chosen spacing. Connect the cold lead and cable end to a compatible thermostat and protective device, and test the circuit before finishing the floor covering. Use a qualified electrician for electrical connections and commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Install the HiSmart HT260201 heating cable only according to local regulations and the manufacturer’s installation manual. Use an appropriate floor thermostat with floor sensor and residual current / overcurrent protection. Do not cut or shorten the heating cable; adjust layout spacing to match required area. For wet areas ensure correct sealing and compatibility of floor coverings and adhesives.
