• Construction: Class 2 Copper or Aluminium conductor, Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, Halogen-free polymer or tape inner sheath, and Halogen Free Flame Retardant (HFFR) outer sheath.
• Details: Single core and multi-core variants, including a 3-core with reduced earth option. Sizes range from 25mm² to 300m². CPR compliant.

FR-N1 X1G1 (Copper) and FR-N1 X1G1-AR (Aluminium) are French Standard fire retardant low voltage power cables manufactured in accordance with Norme Français NF-C32-323 and with a voltage rating of 0.6/1kV.

NR-N1 X1G1 Cable Specification

With their solid stranded Class 2 conductors the NR-N1 X1G1 cables are designed for fixed installation. In these static applications they can be laid in free air, on cable tray, in pipes and conduit, or in trenches. They are not suitable for installation underground (direct burial) or in water. The Aluminium conductor cables are lighter weight than their Copper equivalents, but require larger cross-sectional sizes for parity in current carrying capacity, so Copper would be specified where there is limited installation space.

Commonly used in industrial settings, particularly as sub-main power distribution through risers and the trunk of buildings and industrial plants, it can also be used in hospitals and high-risk public settings. The outer sheathing of halogen-free flame retardant polymer (HFFR) is supplied in green as standard but other colours can be available upon request.

The FR-N1 X1G1 and FR-N1 X1G1-AR cables are not suitable for applications requiring circuit integrity under fire conditions. 

FR-N1 X1G1 Cable Sizes 

Both the FR-N1 X1G1 and FR-N1 X1G1-AR have an operating temperature range of -25^oC to +90^oC, and are available as single core and multi-core variants. This includes a 3-core with reduced earth option. Cable sizes range from 25mm² to 300m² - where additional sizes are required, please speak to the team about your installation and project parameters.
