12 AWG 4C Solid/Stranded BC Tape Shielded Glass-Fibre Wrap Polymer NHXCH-FE 0.6/1KV Security Cable

Allowable Ampacityfor 12 AWG 4C Solid/Stranded BC Tape Shielded Glass-Fibre Wrap Polymer NHXCH-FE 0.6/1KV Security Cable:100 Amps

About:

This specific cable is constructed with a 12 American Wire Gauge (AWG) and includes four conductors (4C), making it suitable for more complex and demanding applications that require multiple circuits or redundancy. The “NHXCH-FE” designation indicates that the cable is designed for high safety standards, including fire resistance and low emission of hazardous substances.

Also Known As:

12 AWG:The gauge size indicating the thickness and electrical capacity of the wire.
4C:Signifies the presence of four conductors within the cable, allowing for versatile applications.
NHXCH-FE:This label denotes the cable’s specific attributes: “NH” for halogen-free, “XCH” for fire resistance, and “FE” for maintaining functional integrity under fire exposure.

Application:

Building Safety Systems:Ideal for fire alarms, emergency lighting, and evacuation systems requiring reliability in fire situations.
Data and Control Circuits:Serves in applications needing multiple control signals or data transmissions, like complex security systems or building automation.
Emergency Communication:Supports systems that facilitate communication or announcements during emergencies.
Backup Systems:Connects devices that must remain operational for safety or evacuation procedures during power failures or fires.

Standards:

IEC 60331:Certifies that the cable can maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions.
EN 50200:Ensures the cable meets European requirements for circuit integrity in fire scenarios.
BS 6387:Validates the cable’s ability to withstand fire, water, and mechanical shocks while maintaining circuit integrity.
