Product Information

Full details

The Lapp 4160206 Grey Hook Up Wire is designed for electrical installations in dry rooms, lighting, control cabinets, and transportation systems, offering enhanced safety in case of fire. It features tinned copper conductors and durable PVC insulation, making it suitable for demanding applications. A key benefit is its broad operating temperature range, though users should note that its fire performance is rated Eca, which may not be sufficient for all stringent fire safety requirements.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of this wire's insulation?

The PVC insulation provides good electrical isolation and mechanical protection, and the wire's formulation offers improved properties in the event of fire due to being halogen-free.

Can this wire be used outdoors?

While it has a wide temperature range, it is primarily intended for use in dry rooms and indoor applications. Prolonged outdoor exposure may degrade the insulation.

What does CPR Certification Eca mean?

CPR Eca is a European classification for the fire performance of construction products. It indicates a basic level of reaction to fire resistance.

Is this wire suitable for high-temperature applications?

The maximum operating temperature is +70°C. For applications exceeding this, alternative wires with higher temperature ratings should be considered.

Can I use this wire for high-power electrical mains?

With a 0.75 mm² conductor size and 18 AWG gauge, this wire is best suited for control, signal, and low-power applications, not high-power mains distribution.

What is the difference between this wire and stranded wire?

This is a single-core wire with fine-wire strands of tinned copper. It is flexible and suitable for many wiring tasks, but not a cable with multiple insulated conductors within an outer sheath.

What accessory is recommended for installing this wire in a panel?

Lapp SKINTOP CLICK cable glands are recommended for secure and compliant entry of the wire into control cabinets and panels.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent signal loss

Check all termination points for secure connections. Ensure the wire is not sharply bent or kinked, which could damage the conductor.

Wire is difficult to strip

Use a wire stripper designed for fine-gauge wires to avoid nicking the conductor. Ensure the stripper blade is sharp.

Overheating at connection point

Verify the conductor size (0.75 mm²) is appropriate for the current load. Ensure the terminal is properly crimped or connected and that the connection resistance is low.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Halogen-free design offers improved fire safety properties.
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications including control cabinets and lighting.
  • Durable PVC insulation provides good protection.
  • Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +70°C.
  • CPR Eca certification for compliance with European fire safety standards.

Cons

  • CPR Eca rating may not be sufficient for the most critical fire safety applications.
  • Maximum operating temperature of +70°C may be limiting for high-temperature environments.
  • Single core wire, not suitable for multi-conductor applications.
  • PVC insulation is less flexible at lower temperatures compared to other materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This wire is designed for direct installation in dry rooms, suitable for cabling lighting, equipment, switchboard, and distribution panels. Use appropriate tools for stripping the PVC insulation and terminating the tinned copper conductor. Ensure connections are secure to maintain electrical integrity.

Compatibility: The wire is compatible with standard electrical connectors, terminals, and cable glands designed for 18 AWG (0.75 mm²) wire. It meets UL1015 standards, making it suitable for use in the USA (MTW) and Canada (TEW), as well as HAR (VDE) rated for Europe. Consider using Lapp SKINTOP CLICK cable glands for secure entry into enclosures.

Care: Keep the wire clean and free from excessive dirt or moisture. Avoid exposing it to temperatures beyond its operating range of -40°C to +70°C. Inspect connections periodically for signs of wear or corrosion.
