When it comes to electrical wiring in critical environments, three characteristics are essential: safety, reliability, and compactness. These are the very needs that led to the development of RADOX® 125, the cable created by HUBER+SUHNER and distributed by Miotti. It’s a product that has already made a difference in sectors such as marine, oil & gas, industrial automation, and electric motors, thanks to a unique combination of technical and performance advantages.
Electrical Cables and Safety: The Effects of Halogens in Case of Fire
When a halogen-containing cable go down in flame, the release of toxic gases can impair visibility, damage electronic systems, and cause serious respiratory issues. In confined spaces such as control rooms, machine panels, cabins, or ships, these emissions become an immediate hazard.
Moreover, the acidic gases released can corrode metal components and irreparably damage complex systems. That’s why European and international regulations are increasingly pushing developers and installers toward halogen-free solutions.
Halogen-Free for High-Criticality Sectors
Applications most sensitive to the use of halogen-free cables include:
- Marine sector: the presence of people on board and the need for rapid evacuation make fire safety a non-negotiable requirement;
- Oil & Gas: in offshore plants and refineries, the presence of flammable materials requires cables that do not contribute to fire spread;
- Industrial automation: within electrical panels and robotic systems, reliable wiring reduces machine downtime and emergency interventions;
- Electric motors and mobility: high temperatures and limited spaces demand resistant, compact, and safe solutions.
In these contexts, halogen-free cables are not just a technical choice—they are a necessary preventive measure. RADOX® addresses this need with the RADOX® 125 cable. Its cross-linked structure, combined with thermal class B (125 °C), ensures high resistance to heat and mechanical stress, as well as the management of current and temperature peaks. Thanks to the halogen-free compound, it does not emit toxic or corrosive smoke in case of fire, providing maximum protection for people, machinery, and environments.
No Need to Design for the Worst-Case Scenario Anymore
One of the major innovations offered by RADOX® 125 concerns design.
Thanks to the thermal stability and high current capacity of the RADOX® 125 cable, engineers can design more compact solutions, optimizing the available space in electrical panels—where every millimeter counts. This solution eliminates the need to oversize cables, which is often done to meet such requirements. This not only improves space management but also reduces the overall weight of the wiring, providing clear advantages in applications such as oil platforms, ships, and other environments where space is critical.
Additionally, using cables with halogen-free compounds in enclosed applications such as marine and oil & gas ensures safety in the event of a fire. RADOX® 125 does not emit toxic or corrosive smoke, offering protection to both people and electronic components.
Ultimately, thanks to its ability to reduce material usage, optimize space, and ensure high safety, RADOX® 125 proves to be a fundamental choice for all sectors that require compact, safe, and high-performance solutions.
Compact, Lightweight, and Resistant: All the Advantages in Real-World Contexts
RADOX® 125 combines safety and performance in a cable that is lighter and more compact than traditional alternatives. Its key features include:
- Thin insulation that reduces bulk in panels and ducts;
- Low weight, ideal for mobile applications or platforms;
- High thermal and mechanical resistance that withstands prolonged stress;
- Less maintenance leads to greater long-term durability.
The result is wiring that is easier to install, more durable, and safer.
