SIMH Fire-Resistant Cables

The SIMH FE180 cable is a multicore cable that is both heat-resistant and fire-resistant, with fine-stranded copper cores with silicone insulation bundled under a silicone outer sheath. It is used in fixed installations where power transmission must continue during a fire, and in the power and control connections of lighting and ventilation systems, machines and equipment operating in hot environments. In this category, the Birtaş SIMH-FR FE180 series is listed by the meter with 2, 3 and 4 cores in cross-sections such as 0.75 mm², 1 mm², 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm². Choose the number of cores according to the conductor needs of the circuit, the cross-section according to load current and line length, and the fire-resistance class and duration according to the project specification. Only the FE180 class appears in the product names; if the project also requires a PH class, it should be verified from the manufacturer's data. Standard SIMH and SIHF silicone cables without the FE180 designation are heat-resistant but not fire-resistant, and they are not a substitute for this cable.

How to choose SIMH Fire-Resistant Cables

The SIMH FE180 cable is a multicore cable that is both heat-resistant and fire-resistant, with fine-stranded copper cores with silicone insulation bundled under a silicone outer sheath. It is used in fixed installations where power transmission must continue during a fire, and in the power and control connections of lighting and ventilation systems, machines and equipment operating in hot environments.

  • 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.
