German Standard Industrial Cables
NHXMH/(N)HXMH(St)

Application and Description

NHXMH cable is halogen free intended for fixed installation in dry and moist rooms as well as in masonry and concrete, in and under plaster; not for underground installation. NHXMH-J/O are especially used in buildings with a high concentration of persons or valuable property, where improved fire characteristics are needed. This product conforms to 73/23/EW G directive (low voltage directive) CE.
