Heizka’s Fire Resistant Cable Shielded, LSZH 2×1.5mm² is a silicone-insulated instrumentation cable purpose-built for fire alarm and life-safety circuits that must keep signaling through a fire event. Built with 1.5mm² (16 AWG) stranded bare copper conductors, a silicone insulation system rated for sustained high-temperature exposure, and an overall polyester tape + aluminum foil shield with drain wire, it protects fire alarm and signaling circuits from electrical noise while maintaining circuit integrity under flame.
As a Fire Resistant Cable Shielded solution, it is a dependable choice for fire alarm control panels, addressable detector loops, signaling devices, and other life-safety electronic equipment in indoor and residential installations. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket limits flame spread and toxic smoke generation, and every reel carries continuous footage markers to reduce installation waste. Every reel is manufactured and tested to IEC 60331-1, IEC 60332-1, EN 50200, EN 61034-2, BS 5839-1, and BS 6387 fire-survival standards, and backed by Heizka’s multi-year warranty for long-term field performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is designed for fire alarm systems, signaling devices, and electronic equipment in indoor and residential installations, carrying power and signal to detectors, sounders, and control panels on life-safety circuits.
Yes. A polyester tape + aluminum foil shield with drain wire covers the twisted pair at 100% coverage, protecting fire alarm and signaling circuits from electromagnetic interference that could otherwise trigger false alarms or signal loss.
The three variants share the same shielded, silicone-insulated, LSZH construction and differ only in conductor size. The 2×1.5mm² (16AWG) version is the standard choice for typical fire alarm and detector wiring; the 2×2.5mm² (14AWG) suits longer circuit runs or higher current draw; the 2×1.0mm² (18AWG) is the most compact choice for shorter detector and signaling loops.
Yes. It is manufactured and tested to IEC 60331-1, IEC 60332-1, EN 50200, EN 61034-2, BS 5839-1, and BS 6387, the standards commonly required for fire alarm and life-safety circuit integrity cables.
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing limits flame spread and emits minimal toxic smoke and no halogen gases when burned, which is essential for fire alarm cabling routed through occupied buildings where visibility and air quality during a fire are critical.
Standard packaging is 500m per reel with continuous footage markers on the jacket. The cable is rated for operation from -20°C to 200°C, suitable for typical indoor and residential fire-alarm installation environments.
Every reel of Heizka Fire Resistant Cable Shielded, LSZH 2×1.5mm² ships as a continuous 500m length with clear footage markers printed along the jacket, ready to route directly into fire alarm control panels, detector loops, and signaling circuits without unnecessary splicing.
