Hornisse – electric heating cable 3.6 mm, length 61.1 m

Product detailed description

Hornisse HO Cable/18-1100 is a heating cable with a length of 61.1 m intended for electric underfloor heating installed on a screed. The twin-core construction with fluoropolymer core insulation and a PVC outer sheath is designed for a voltage of 230 V and a linear power of 18 W/m. Heat spreads smoothly from the cable into the floor, making the system suitable wherever you want to heat the floor without cold zones.

It occupies a position in the range between the cable with a length of 44.4 m and the cable with a length of 67.8 m. It differs from adjacent variants in the length of the heating section and thus in the total electrical power; materials, voltage, linear power and supply cable are the same.

Main Features

• Installation on screed: the cable is laid directly on the concrete screed and hidden under the floor covering, for example tiles, panels or stone.
• Even heat distribution: the floor is heated over the entire heated area, so the room has no cold corners.
• Fast heating: the cable reaches operating temperature almost immediately, reducing the time needed to achieve the desired room temperature.
• Durable materials: fluoropolymer and PVC protect the cable from mechanical damage, external influences and moisture, extending its service life.
• Shielded cable: high-quality insulation and shielding ensure safe operation with minimal risk of overheating.
• Flexibility: the cable can be adapted to the shape of the room and can also be routed to hard-to-reach areas.
• Efficient operation: the combination of precise regulation and high efficiency helps reduce heating costs.

Technical Data

Power consumption, current draw and resistance vary with individual lengths in the HO Cable/18 series, so for the index HO Cable/18-1100 always verify these in the manufacturer's documentation before selecting a circuit breaker and controller.

Application

The system is suitable for residential and commercial buildings. In houses and apartments, it can be used to heat entire rooms, bathrooms and kitchens, while in offices and service areas it can improve thermal comfort or be used as an additional heat source near windows and balcony doors.

Installation and Operation

• Have the wiring done by a qualified electrician.
• Do not cut, cross or lay the cable in a way that it touches itself.
• Respect the bending radius of 50 mm and ensure that the insulation is not damaged during installation.
• The minimum temperature during installation is 5 °C.
• Check the cable resistance before and after covering it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the 61.1 m cable be shortened if the room is smaller?

The heating cable is not intended for shortening, as its resistance is determined by its length. For a smaller area, choose a shorter variant from the HO Cable/18 series.

Is the cable suitable for use in a bathroom?

Yes. The manufacturer specifies it for heating bathrooms and kitchens, and the cable is protected against moisture.

What is the maximum temperature the heating wire can reach?

The maximum wire temperature is 45 °C.
