LIH(St)CH Fire-Resistant Cables

The LIH(St)CH FE180 cable is a fire-resistant signal cable with fine-stranded copper conductors, halogen-free insulation, a halogen-free sheath, and both an aluminum foil and a copper braid shield. Thanks to its dual-shield construction, it is used in signal lines that can be affected by interference and that run close to power cables or frequency converters in systems such as fire detection, emergency public address and building automation. In this category, Reçber cables are listed by the meter in core counts and cross-sections such as 2x1 mm², 3x0.75 mm², 4x1.5 mm², 7x1 mm², 8x1.5 mm² and 12x2.5 mm²; the FE180 class is stated in the product names. Choose the number of cores according to the signal and supply terminals of the device to be connected, the cross-section according to line length and current, and the strength class according to the project specification. In the type code, (St) indicates the foil shield and C indicates the copper braid shield; this cable should not be confused with LIH(St)H, which has a foil shield only. A halogen-free LIH(St)CH signal cable is not considered fire-resistant unless the product name carries the FE180 designation.

How to choose LIH(St)CH Fire-Resistant Cables

The LIH(St)CH FE180 cable is a fire-resistant signal cable with fine-stranded copper conductors, halogen-free insulation, a halogen-free sheath, and both an aluminum foil and a copper braid shield. Thanks to its dual-shield construction, it is used in signal lines that can be affected by interference and that run close to power cables or frequency converters in systems such as fire detection, emergency public address and building automation.

  • 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.
