LIH(St)H Signal Cables

The LIH(St)H cable is a signal cable with halogen-free insulated stranded copper cores wrapped in an aluminum foil shield with a drain wire, and a halogen-free outer sheath. It is used in the indoor installations of high-occupancy buildings, on the fixed signal lines of building automation, security, audio and alarm systems. In the category, products from brands such as Mekas Kablo, Reçber Kablo, Birtaş Kablo and Erse Kablo are sold by the meter in cross-sections such as 2x0.22+0.22 mm², 4x1+0.50 mm², 6x0.75 mm² and 8x0.50 mm². Choose the number of signal cores according to the device wiring diagram, and the cross-section according to line length and, if there are any, the current of the supply cores; if both supply and signal will be carried in the same cable, take the voltage drop into account. The foil shield is grounded through the drain wire that touches the shield along the length of the cable; the 0.22 mm² or 0.50 mm² written after the plus sign in the product name is the cross-section of this wire, so a 4x1+0.50 mm² cable has four cores for signals. LIH(St)H should not be confused with LIHCH: both are halogen-free, but LIH(St)H has a foil shield and LIHCH has a copper braid shield.

How to choose LIH(St)H Signal Cables

The LIH(St)H cable is a signal cable with halogen-free insulated stranded copper cores wrapped in an aluminum foil shield with a drain wire, and a halogen-free outer sheath. It is used in the indoor installations of high-occupancy buildings, on the fixed signal lines of building automation, security, audio and alarm systems.

  • 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.
