JE-H(St)H FE180-E30 Communication Cable

What is JE-H(St)H FE180-E30 Communication Cable?

The JE-H(St)H FE180-E30 Communication Cable is a German-standard, low-voltage (225V) screened fire-survival data and signal transmission cable manufactured in strict conformity with VDE 0815 and DIN 4102. It is specifically engineered to maintain low-voltage signal continuity across measurement, process control, and building regulation circuits located in high-risk zones housing concentrated human populations or high-value physical equipment.

The technical designation FE180-E30 highlights dual passive fire protection levels: FE 180 ensures insulation integrity under continuous burner flame exposure for 180 minutes, while E 30 validates functional circuit integrity for at least 30 minutes in certified cable-support installations tested to DIN 4102 part 12. Equppied with an overall-coated aluminium foil screen to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and a flame-retardant non-corrosive outer sheath tested to IEC 60332-3-24 Cat. C, the cable releases no corrosive acid gases and produces minimal smoke to preserve escape visibility and protect digital control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the significance of the DIN 4102 part 12 standard for JE-H(St)H cables?
A: DIN 4102 part 12 certifies the entire installed system—including cable, support brackets, and cable trays—ensuring that weak-current data and control signals continue functioning without interruption for at least 30 minutes (E 30) during a fire.

Q: Why is an overall plastic-coated aluminium foil screen utilized in this communication cable?
A: The bonded aluminium foil screen provides continuous 100% electrostatic and electromagnetic shielding against electrical noise from nearby heavy power equipment, preserving signal integrity across instrumentation circuits.

Q: Can JE-H(St)H FE180-E30 cable be installed in wet environments?
A: Yes, official technical guidelines confirm that the cable is rated for fixed installations in both dry and wet rooms, although direct soil burial or continuous water submersion is not permitted.

Q: What commercial payment terms does Huadong Cable accept for international orders?
A: We accept standard international commercial payment terms, primarily Telegraphic Transfer (T/T, with 30% advance deposit and 70% against shipping documents) and 100% Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight.
