Hornisse heating cable 15 W/m, 5.5 mm, length 60 m (900 W)
Code: HO HCABLE/15-900Product detailed description
This Hornisse heating cable model has a length of 60 m and a power of 900 W. It is laid into the screed under the floor covering and functions as an electric heating loop powered by the 230 V grid: the heated cable warms the screed, which gradually transfers the heat to the entire floor.
The cable is laid under a layer of concrete or anhydrite screed. After pouring, it is completely hidden, does not take up space in the room, and does not interfere with its appearance. It is suitable for various types of floor coverings, such as tiles, panels, or carpet.
Main Features
- Power 15 W/m – specific power suitable for floor heating, which keeps energy consumption within economical limits.
- Embedding in the screed – concrete or anhydrite acts as a thermal mass, so the floor retains heat for a long time and the heating is stable.
- Even heating – heat is distributed across the entire floor surface, and no cold zones form in the room.
- Protection by the screed – the layer of screed protects the cable from mechanical damage and external influences.
- Cable insulation – the core has LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) insulation, and the outer sheath is made of XLPE and PVC.
- Low maintenance – the system under the screed has a long service life and requires minimal maintenance.

Application and Installation
The cable is suitable for single-family homes, apartments, and commercial spaces, for example in bathrooms, kitchens, or living rooms, i.e., wherever you want to have a comfortably warm floor. With a power of 15 W/m, the manufacturer recommends it mainly as auxiliary or main heating in well-insulated rooms, both in new constructions and when renovating existing heating systems.
During installation, maintain a minimum installation temperature of 5 °C and a maximum bending radius of 50 mm. Lay the cable evenly so that individual loops do not touch or cross each other, and never cut the cable. Before and after pouring the screed, it is reasonable to measure the cable resistance and compare it with the value of 58.8 Ω stated in the technical data. It is advisable to control the floor temperature using a thermostat, which ensures comfortable and energy-efficient operation.
Other Lengths in the Series
The Hornisse cable series with a power of 15 W/m includes versions from 15 m to 155 m, i.e., with power ranging from 225 W to 2325 W. Depending on the size of the heated area, you can choose a shorter or longer cable; the difference between individual units is primarily in length, power, current draw, and resistance. This model has a length of 60 m and a power of 900 W.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the 60 m cable installed?
Into the screed under the floor covering. This can be a concrete or anhydrite screed, and after pouring, the cable remains completely hidden.
How does it differ from shorter and longer cables in this series?
With the same specific power of 15 W/m, the total power depends on the length. This cable has 60 m, 900 W, 3.9 A, and a resistance of 58.8 Ω, so when choosing, focus mainly on the area you want to heat.
Is the cable suitable for a bathroom or kitchen?
Yes, the manufacturer recommends it for bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms, i.e., wherever a warm floor is beneficial.
