About:

NHXCH-FE cable is specifically engineered to maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions, ensuring power and communication lines remain operational in emergency situations. Its design caters to installations where safety and performance are critical, particularly in fire scenarios.

Also Known As:

• NHXCH: This part of the name typically indicates the cable's halogen-free and fire-resistant characteristics. "NH" usually signifies halogen-free material, and "XCH" might relate to the cable's fire-resistant properties.
• FE: Often stands for "Fire Resistant" or "Functional Integrity," denoting the cable's ability to function in extreme conditions, particularly fire.

Application:

• Emergency Circuits: Ensuring the functionality of critical circuits during fires, such as emergency lighting, alarm systems, and smoke extraction units.
• Safety Systems: Used in fire alarm systems, emergency exit lightings, and other safety installations requiring operation during fire incidents.
• Infrastructure Resilience: Ideal for buildings, tunnels, and public infrastructures where maintaining circuit integrity during fire is vital.

Standards:

• IEC 60331: Pertains to the cables' ability to withstand fire and maintain circuit integrity.
• EN 50200: Defines the performance requirements for maintaining circuit integrity under fire conditions.
• BS 6387: Specifies testing methods for cables required to maintain circuit integrity under various conditions like fire, water, and mechanical stresses.
