TT Cables NHXH-J RE/SP FE180/E90 Power Cable, 3 x 2.5mm², 500m

The TT Cables NHXH-J RE/SP FE180/E90 is a high-performance, halogen-free power cable engineered for critical infrastructure and environments where fire safety is the highest priority. This cable features three conductors with a cross-section of 2.5mm², designed to maintain circuit integrity during fire conditions. With an E90 rating, it ensures power supply for 90 minutes during a fire, while the FE180 insulation integrity rating guarantees operation for 180 minutes, making it a reliable choice for life-safety systems.

Advantages

This cable offers exceptional fire resistance and safety features, including low smoke emission and the absence of toxic halogen gases in the event of combustion. Its robust construction ensures durability in demanding professional electrical installations. The orange outer sheath allows for easy identification as a fire-resistant cable, while the high-quality materials provide long-term reliability and protection for essential electrical circuits in public and industrial buildings.

Suitable for

• Emergency lighting systems
• Fire alarm and detection systems
• Smoke extraction equipment
• Public buildings, hospitals, and shopping centers
• Critical infrastructure power supply

This cable may not be suitable for outdoor installations where it is directly exposed to prolonged UV radiation or submerged in water, as it is primarily designed for fixed installations within buildings. It is also not intended for applications requiring high flexibility or constant movement, such as robotic arms or mobile equipment.

Key specifications

• Number of conductors: 3
• Conductor cross-section: 2.5mm²
• Fire resistance: FE180 (insulation integrity 180 min)
• Circuit integrity: E90 (90 min)
• Flammability class: Eca
• Cable shape: Hose
• Color: Orange
• Length: 500m

How to use

The cable should be installed by qualified electrical professionals in accordance with local building codes and fire safety regulations. It is suitable for fixed installation in dry or damp environments, either on, in, or under plaster, as well as in cable ducts. When routing the cable, ensure that the minimum bending radius is respected to prevent damage to the internal conductors and insulation layers. Connections should be made using appropriate fire-rated junction boxes and terminals to maintain the overall integrity of the fire-resistant system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cross-section for your specific load requirements.
• Ensure the installation environment complies with the cable's technical specifications.
• Confirm that the E90/FE180 rating meets the fire safety standards required for your project.
• Check the total length needed for your installation to optimize the 500m reel usage.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the cable is installed in compliance with national fire safety standards and electrical installation guidelines. Avoid mechanical stress during installation and ensure that all connections are properly secured to maintain the fire-resistant properties of the circuit.
