LIHH Signal Cables

The LIHH cable is an unshielded signal cable with stranded copper conductors, whose core insulation and outer sheath are made of a halogen-free, flame-retardant (HFFR) compound. It is used in building automation, sensor and control signal lines in buildings such as hospitals, schools, hotels, airports and shopping centers, where dense smoke and corrosive gas in a fire are undesirable. 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 2x0.50 mm², 3x1 mm², 6x1.5 mm² and 7x2.5 mm². Choose the number of cores according to the number of signals, the cross-section according to line length and circuit current, and the color-coded or numbered (OZ) core layout according to the wiring diagram; decide whether a shield is needed by looking at the noise sources next to the line. The two H letters in the type code indicate that both the core insulation and the outer sheath are halogen-free. Being halogen-free does not mean being fire-resistant: LIHH does not keep the circuit operating during a fire, and this function requires a fire-resistant cable with a circuit integrity class such as FE180.

How to choose LIHH Signal Cables

The LIHH cable is an unshielded signal cable with stranded copper conductors, whose core insulation and outer sheath are made of a halogen-free, flame-retardant (HFFR) compound. It is used in building automation, sensor and control signal lines in buildings such as hospitals, schools, hotels, airports and shopping centers, where dense smoke and corrosive gas in a fire are undesirable.

  • 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.
