The TT Cables N2XH-J is a high-performance halogen-free power cable engineered for fixed installations in environments where stringent fire safety standards are required. With a robust construction featuring five conductors, each with a cross-section of 16 mm², this cable is designed to provide reliable power distribution in both residential and industrial buildings. Its halogen-free composition ensures that in the event of a fire, the cable does not release toxic gases or dense smoke, significantly improving safety for occupants and protecting sensitive equipment.
Advantages
This power cable offers superior safety characteristics due to its B2ca fire classification, which indicates a high level of resistance to flame spread and minimal heat release. The halogen-free material is essential for modern building regulations, making it a responsible choice for public spaces, offices, and industrial facilities. Its durable hose-shaped design facilitates easier installation in conduits or cable trays, while the 16 mm² conductor size ensures efficient power transmission with minimal energy loss. The black outer sheath provides additional protection against environmental factors, ensuring long-term reliability for fixed electrical networks.
Suitable for
- Electrical distribution in public buildings and schools
- Industrial power supply networks
- Residential electrical installations requiring high fire safety
- Fixed wiring in cable ducts and trays
When it may not be suitable
This cable is specifically designed for fixed installations and is not intended for applications requiring high flexibility or frequent movement, such as power cords for portable appliances. It is also not suitable for direct burial in the ground without additional mechanical protection or for use in environments where it will be exposed to constant mechanical stress or vibration.
Key specifications
- Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
- Number of conductors: 5
- Fire classification: B2ca
- Cable shape: Hose
- Color: Black
- Length: 500 m
How to use
The cable should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes and safety regulations. It is designed for fixed installation, meaning it should be secured within walls, conduits, or cable trays. Ensure that the bending radius is respected during installation to prevent damage to the internal conductors. When connecting the conductors, use appropriate terminals and ensure that all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque to prevent overheating.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 16 mm² cross-section meets the load requirements of your electrical system.
- Ensure the B2ca fire rating complies with the specific fire safety regulations of your building project.
- Confirm that the 500-meter length is sufficient for your installation needs or if multiple segments are required.
- Check that the installation environment is suitable for a fixed, non-flexible cable.
Usage recommendations
Always inspect the cable for any physical damage before installation. Ensure that the cable is not subjected to temperatures exceeding its rated operating limits and that it is protected from direct sunlight if installed outdoors for extended periods.
