Hornisse – electric heating cable 3.6 mm, length 44.4 m
Code: HO CABLE/18-800Product detailed description
The Hornisse heating cable with a length of 44.4 m is part of the HO Cable/18 series for electric floor heating. It is a two-core cable with a diameter of 3.1 – 3.6 mm, which is laid on a concrete screed and then covered with a floor covering. It is powered from a 230 V network and transfers heat with a linear output of 18 W/m, so the floor is heated continuously over the entire surface and no cold zones form in the room.
The HO Cable/18 series includes a cable with a length of 37.8 m before it and a cable with a length of 61.1 m after it. Therefore, when selecting the cable, compare its length with the area you want to heat and keep in mind that the heating section should not be shortened or extended.
Main Features
- Installation on screed: the cable is laid on a concrete screed and can be covered with tiles, floor panels or stone.
- Even heat: continuous heating of the floor eliminates cold spots and provides thermal comfort.
- Fast response: the cable heats up quickly, so the desired room temperature is reached without unnecessary waiting.
- Durable construction: the core is insulated with fluoropolymer and the outer sheath is made of PVC; the cable is resistant to mechanical stress and protected against moisture.
- Safety: shielding and high-quality insulation reduce the risk of overheating.
- Flexibility: the flexible cable can be routed even to hard-to-reach areas.
- Lower costs: precise temperature control and high thermal efficiency can reduce heating bills.

Total power consumption, current draw and cable resistance vary in the series according to the length. Before dimensioning the circuit breaker and thermostat, check the exact values for the index HO Cable/18-800 in the manufacturer's data.
Application
The cable is suitable for single-family homes and apartments, where it can heat entire rooms including bathrooms and kitchens, or serve as a supplementary heat source. It is also used in commercial spaces, for example in offices and service areas, and anywhere where floor heating is needed near windows or balcony doors.
Installation and Operation
Laying and connecting the cable should be done by a qualified electrician, who follows the current regulations. The cable must not be bent, crossed or overlapped during installation and must not be bent more than the manufacturer's specified bending radius of 50 mm. Install the cable at a temperature of at least 5 °C. It is useful to measure the cable resistance before installation, after installation and after covering, and compare it with the manufacturer's data.
