FR CABLE 2 x 1.5mm² Cu./Mica Tape/XLPE/LSZH Cable (600/1000 V)
Reliable Fire-Resistant Cable for Safety-Critical Electrical Systems
When safety and performance are top priorities, the FR Cable 2 x 1.5mm² is a dependable solution. Designed for environments where fire resistance, low smoke emission, and circuit integrity are essential, this cable meets the highest international standards for both residential and commercial applications.
Why Choose Fire-Resistant Cables?
Electrical systems in high-risk zones must remain operational during emergencies. A fire-resistant cable like this ensures uninterrupted power to critical equipment, such as alarms, emergency lighting, and evacuation systems. More importantly, it reduces the risk to life by limiting toxic smoke and maintaining circuit integrity.
Key Construction Features
1. High-Conductivity Copper Core
The cable uses Class 2 stranded copper conductors, which combine flexibility with strength. Each conductor includes 7 strands, improving handling and installation ease, especially in confined spaces.
Copper ensures efficient power transfer with minimal resistance, making it a top choice for low-voltage applications.
2. Fire-Barrier Mica Tape
To withstand flames and extreme temperatures, a 0.13 mm Mica tape layer is added around each conductor. This acts as a fire shield, enabling the cable to operate during fire events—ensuring that essential systems remain functional when needed most.
3. XLPE Insulation for Thermal Protection
The XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation provides:
-
High thermal resistance
-
Electrical insulation
-
Mechanical strength
Each core has 0.70 mm of insulation, keeping the system safe under stress or high load. Plus, the cores are color-coded in Red and Black for easy identification during installation.
4. LSZH Sheath for Safety and Compliance
The cable’s outer sheath is made from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, reducing harmful emissions during a fire. This makes it suitable for use in closed areas like offices, hospitals, malls, and public infrastructure.
With a sheath thickness of 1.80 mm, it also protects against environmental damage and mechanical wear.
Electrical Performance and Dimensions
Optimized for Efficiency
This FR cable delivers excellent performance across a wide range of conditions. It has a maximum D.C. resistance of 12.1 Ω/Km at 20°C, which keeps energy losses low and system efficiency high.
Compact Yet Powerful
Despite its protective layers, the cable maintains a compact design with an overall diameter of just 10.0 mm. This allows for easy routing through cable trays, conduits, and tight pathways.
Voltage and Application Suitability
Rated for 600/1000 Volts (0.6/1.0 kV), this cable is ideal for:
-
Emergency power circuits
-
Fire alarm systems
-
Control panels
-
Public address systems
-
Commercial lighting setups
Its design ensures safe and stable operation under both normal and emergency conditions.
