LIHCH Signal Cables

The LIHCH cable is a signal cable with halogen-free insulated stranded copper cores wrapped in a copper braid shield, with a halogen-free outer sheath. It is used in automation, measurement and communication lines in buildings such as hospitals, airports and data centers, where both shielding against electromagnetic noise and low smoke and halogen-free material in a fire are required. In the category, LIHCH and twisted-pair LIHCH-TP types from brands such as Mekas Kablo, Birtaş Kablo, Reçber Kablo and 2M Kablo are sold by the meter in cross-sections such as 2x0.22 mm², 6x1 mm² and 3x2x0.75 mm². Choose the number of cores or pairs according to the number of signals, the cross-section according to line length, the construction (individual cores or twisted pairs) according to the signal type, and the reaction to fire class according to the specification. The B2ca-s1a,d1,a1 designation in some product names is the reaction to fire class under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR); being halogen-free does not provide this class by itself, and the class is declared per product. LIHCH should not be confused with PVC-insulated LIYCY: the shield constructions are the same, but in a project that requires halogen-free cable, LIYCY is not a substitute for this cable.

How to choose LIHCH Signal Cables

The LIHCH cable is a signal cable with halogen-free insulated stranded copper cores wrapped in a copper braid shield, with a halogen-free outer sheath. It is used in automation, measurement and communication lines in buildings such as hospitals, airports and data centers, where both shielding against electromagnetic noise and low smoke and halogen-free material in a fire are required.

  • 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.
