N2XH 0.6/1kV LSZH

Nexans N2XH 0.6/1kV LSZH cables provide low-voltage power distribution for data centres and other commercial or industrial installations where smoke emissions and corrosive gases must be carefully considered in the event of a fire. Featuring copper conductors, XLPE insulation and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer sheath, N2XH cables are suitable for fixed electrical installations supplying essential building services and supporting infrastructure. Available in single-core and multicore configurations, they offer options for different power distribution requirements within modern data centre environments.

Why Specify Nexans N2XH LSZH Cable for Data Centres?

• Rated at 0.6/1kV for low-voltage power distribution in fixed electrical installations.
• Copper conductors with XLPE insulation and an LSZH outer sheath for electrical power applications.
• Low Smoke Zero Halogen construction helps limit smoke generation and halogen acid gas emissions under fire conditions.
• Flame-retardant properties help restrict flame propagation under the applicable test conditions.
• Suitable for specified power circuits supplying data centre cooling equipment, lighting and auxiliary services.
• Available in single-core and multicore configurations, including Class 2 and Class 5 conductor options.
• Applicable to commercial buildings, technical facilities, industrial installations and other environments where LSZH cabling is specified.
• Provides an unarmoured cable option for installations where separate mechanical protection is not required or is provided by the installation design.

Selecting the appropriate Nexans N2XH cable involves assessing the required conductor size, core configuration, installation method and electrical load. Cable sizing should account for current-carrying capacity, voltage drop, fault conditions, grouping, ambient temperature and the relevant installation requirements. These considerations are particularly important in data centres, where power distribution infrastructure must be coordinated with cooling systems, lighting and other supporting equipment.

N2XH LSZH cable is intended for power distribution rather than serving as a data transmission cable. Its role within a data centre is to supply electrical equipment and building services, with the precise application determined by the electrical design and project specification. Where mechanical protection, circuit integrity during fire or other specialist performance characteristics are required, the selected cable construction must meet those additional requirements.

Cleveland Cable Company supplies Nexans cable options for data centre power infrastructure, with a range of conductor sizes and configurations available to suit different project requirements. Reviewing the relevant product datasheet helps establish the precise construction, applicable standards and electrical characteristics before specification and installation.
