12 AWG 2C Solid/Stranded BC Tape Shielded Glass-Fibre Wrap Polymer NHXCH-FE 0.6/1KV Security Cable
Allowable Ampacity for 12 AWG 2C Solid/Stranded BC Tape Shielded Glass-Fibre Wrap Polymer NHXCH-FE 0.6/1KV Security Cable: 100 Amps
About:
This cable is specifically engineered for environments where enhanced fire resistance is essential, featuring a 12 AWG size that denotes the thickness of the wire and a 2-conductor configuration. It is designed to maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions, ensuring that critical security systems remain operational during emergencies.
Also Known As:
• 12 AWG: Refers to the American Wire Gauge size of the conductors, indicating their diameter and current-carrying capacity.
• 2C: Signifies that the cable has two conductors, making it suitable for applications where a pair of wires is required for circuit completion.
• NHXCH-FE: Implies the cable’s construction and fire-resistant properties, with “NH” suggesting halogen-free materials, “XCH” indicating fire resistance, and “FE” often referring to functional integrity under fire.
Application:
• Emergency Lighting: Powers lights that must remain operational in fire conditions.
• Fire Alarm Systems: Connects fire detection devices and alarms, ensuring they function during fires.
• Security Systems: Serves in critical security infrastructure, like access control systems, that need to be operational regardless of fire presence.
• Public Address Systems: Ensures announcements can be made and heard during emergency evacuations.
Standards:
• IEC 60331: Demonstrates the cable’s ability to maintain circuit integrity in fire.
• EN 50200: Provides requirements for maintaining circuit integrity under fire conditions.
