HSLH Control Cables

The HSLH cable is a flexible control cable with fine-stranded copper conductors, halogen-free insulation, a halogen-free sheath and numbered cores. It is used in panel, machine and building automation control lines in buildings such as hospitals, hotels, shopping centers, tunnels and data centers, where smoke density and corrosive gas emission must be limited in a fire. In this category, the HSLH-JZ type with a yellow-green protective conductor and the HSLH-OZ type without a protective conductor are sold by the meter from the Birtaş, Reçber and Mekas brands in core counts and cross-sections such as 2x1.5 mm², 4x1.5 mm², 7x2.5 mm², 12x0.50 mm² and 24x0.75 mm². Choose the number of cores according to the circuit diagram, the cross-section according to load current and line length, the JZ or OZ construction according to the need for a protective conductor, and the reaction to fire class according to the project specification. Birtaş BIRTFLEX 552-H product names state the Cca-s1a,d1,a1 reaction to fire class; in notations such as 7G0.75, the letter G indicates a construction with a yellow-green core. Being halogen-free does not make an HSLH cable fire-resistant; it is not a substitute for FE180-class cables in circuits that must operate during a fire.

How to choose HSLH Control Cables

The HSLH cable is a flexible control cable with fine-stranded copper conductors, halogen-free insulation, a halogen-free sheath and numbered cores. It is used in panel, machine and building automation control lines in buildings such as hospitals, hotels, shopping centers, tunnels and data centers, where smoke density and corrosive gas emission must be limited in a fire.

  • Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
  • Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
  • Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
