(N)HXH-J 0.6/1kV FE180 E90 Fire-Resistant Power Cable
ETK Kablo’s (N)HXH-J 0.6/1kV FE180 E90 is a halogen-free, fire-resistant power cable engineered to ensure power continuity and circuit integrity in critical systems during fire conditions. Certified with FE180 and E90 performance ratings, this cable provides reliable energy transmission for emergency lighting, fire alarm, smoke extraction, and evacuation systems for up to 90 minutes under flame and mechanical stress.
Reliable Fire Resistance and Circuit Integrity
The FE180 classification confirms that the cable’s conductors maintain electrical functionality for 180 minutes under fire exposure, while the E90 rating guarantees mechanical integrity for 90 minutes under flame and impact. These properties make (N)HXH-J FE180 E90 ideal for use in safety-critical applications where continuous power supply is essential during fire emergencies.
Halogen-Free and Flame-Retardant Construction
Constructed with copper conductors and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) insulation and sheath, this cable ensures minimal smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of fire. Its non-corrosive, flame-retardant materials provide enhanced safety for people and sensitive electronic systems, making it suitable for public buildings, hospitals, airports, tunnels, and high-rise complexes.
Applications and Installation Areas
The (N)HXH-J 0.6/1kV FE180 E90 is designed for fixed indoor installations where fire survival and operational reliability are required. It can be installed on cable trays, inside conduits, or embedded in concrete, supporting consistent power delivery in emergency power networks and building safety systems.
Compliance and Quality Standards
ETK Kablo’s fire-resistant (N)HXH-J cable complies with major international and European standards, including IEC 60331 (circuit integrity), IEC 60332-1/3 (flame retardancy), and VDE 0276-604 (construction and performance). It is CPR-compliant and available in classifications such as Cca or Dca upon request, ensuring complete conformity to building safety regulations.
Why Choose ETK Kablo’s (N)HXH-J FE180 E90?
Choose ETK Kablo’s (N)HXH-J 0.6/1kV FE180 E90 — the halogen-free fire-resistant power cable built for critical infrastructure and emergency energy systems. With verified FE180 / E90 fire endurance, low smoke emission, and CPR compliance, it provides safe, reliable, and continuous power transmission when protection matters most.
Frequently Asked Questions about (N)HXH-J FE180 E90 Fire-Resistant Cable
What is the difference between NHXH and NHXCH?
The main difference lies in the shielding. NHXH cables are unshielded halogen-free power cables designed for fire-resistant installations, while NHXCH cables include a collective copper screen (C) that provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. NHXCH is used where signal or control circuits require shielding in addition to fire resistance.
What is NHXMH cable?
NHXMH is a halogen-free, flame-retardant power cable that does not offer circuit integrity under fire conditions like FE180 or E90-rated cables. It is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial installations where low smoke and halogen-free performance are required, but full fire endurance is not critical.
What is a N2XH cable?
N2XH cables are halogen-free, XLPE-insulated power cables for fixed installations up to 0.6/1kV. Unlike NHXH cables, which use thermoplastic LSZH insulation, N2XH uses cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), providing higher temperature resistance and current-carrying capacity. However, N2XH is not designed for functional integrity during fire exposure.
What is FE180 E90?
FE180 and E90 are international fire resistance classifications. FE180 means the cable’s conductors maintain electrical functionality for 180 minutes under direct flame, while E90 indicates the entire cable maintains mechanical integrity and circuit continuity for 90 minutes. Together, they certify that ETK Kablo’s (N)HXH-J 0.6/1kV FE180 E90 cable continues to supply power safely during extended fire conditions.
