Cable 1.5mm² | copper | flexible | single-core | multi-stranded | halogen-free | H07Z1-K 1.5 (1m) | black

Single-core wires are also called monolithic wires,
while multi-core wires are flexible wires.

Wires usually have a single conductor covered with an insulating layer.

Cables have several insulated wires, covered with a common sheath.

Conductor properties of wires:

The resistance of copper conductors is lower (0.017Ω) than that of aluminum (0.028Ω),
but copper has better conductivity.
Copper has better electrical and thermal conductivity than aluminum.
Copper wires are more flexible, more resistant to corrosion, and more durable.
Aluminum wires quickly oxidize upon contact with air, forming a film that weakens the contact.
Copper wires carry higher currents than aluminum wires.
Copper conductors are denser than aluminum. Therefore, copper wire is heavier.

The cross-sectional area of wires is chosen according to the power of specific equipment,
for example: for a 1kW load, a 1.57 mm² cross-sectional area of the conductor is required.
For aluminum wires: 5A per 1mm², and for copper wires: 8A per 1mm². 

Fire-Resistant and Non-Flammable Cables
Description: Standard PVC (polyvinyl chloride) cables release toxic gases and a thick black smoke screen during a fire, which complicates the work of firefighters when searching through buildings. Burning PVC emits highly acidic hydrogen chloride gases (HCl), which, when mixed with water, turn into hydrochloric acid. Inhaling these gases can severely irritate the respiratory system, and contact with eyes or skin can cause serious burns. Additionally, HCl can irreparably damage electrical equipment.

Halogen-free cables are an alternative that do not release halogens (chlorine) and provide greater safety since these cables do not produce corrosive smoke.

Non-flammable cables are designed to prevent flames from spreading along the cable's surface during a fire. These cables ensure the continued operation of fire safety systems, such as lighting, smoke removal, fire sprinklers, etc., for a certain period during a fire.

Fire Resistance Classification: Fire resistance of cables is categorized into seven safety classes from A to F:

A – Non-flammable product.
F – No reaction to fire specified.
Most cables fall into categories B, C, D, and E.

Additional Safety Criteria for Cables:

Smoke Emission (s1, s2, s3) – Lower values indicate less smoke.
Flaming Droplets (d1, d2, d3) – Lower values indicate no flaming droplets are produced.
Smoke Acidity and Electrolytic Conductivity (a1, a2, a3) – Lower values mean less hazardous smoke.
Cable Marking:

D – Fire resistance class
ca – Cables/wires
s – Smoke emission
d – Flaming droplets
a – Smoke acidity and conductivity
