LIHCH Fire-Resistant Cables

The LIHCH FE180 cable is a fire-resistant signal and control cable with fine-stranded copper conductors, halogen-free insulation, a copper braid shield and a halogen-free outer sheath. It is used in systems such as fire alarm, emergency public address, emergency lighting control and smoke extraction, on lines that run near motor and power cables and must keep carrying signals during a fire. Cables made by Reçber, Erse, Mekas and Birtaş are listed by the meter in this category in core counts and cross-sections such as 2x0.75 mm², 2x2.5 mm², 3x1.5 mm², 4x1 mm² and 7x0.75 mm²; the product names include the FE180 class, the PH120 class depending on the brand, and the E30 class for Erse products. Choose the strength class according to the project specification, the number of cores according to the wiring diagram, and the cross-section according to line length and the current the line will carry. A braid shield is effective against low-frequency electromagnetic interference and withstands bending better than a foil shield. A halogen-free LIHCH signal cable that has the same type code but no FE180 designation is not fire-resistant and should not be confused with these products.

How to choose LIHCH Fire-Resistant Cables

The LIHCH FE180 cable is a fire-resistant signal and control cable with fine-stranded copper conductors, halogen-free insulation, a copper braid shield and a halogen-free outer sheath. It is used in systems such as fire alarm, emergency public address, emergency lighting control and smoke extraction, on lines that run near motor and power cables and must keep carrying signals during 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.
