When you open a finished panel or pull a run through a conduit, the cable quality decides how the job feels. Hager cables and wires are made for installers who care about that — clean stripping, predictable bending radius, and reliable insulation even years after commissioning. In practice, you’ll see them across distribution boards, lighting circuits, and machinery wiring where performance and ease of handling both matter
Hager power cables are the backbone of low-voltage installations. Rated up to 450/750 V, they use pure electrolytic copper with high-density PVC or XLPE insulation for long-term stability. Conductors follow class 5 flexibility under IEC 60228, giving tight bends without cracking.
In typical installation, a 2.5 mm² conductor carries about 20 A at 230 V, while 10 mm² can handle 57 A — enough for feeders and sub-boards. Temperature endurance reaches +70 °C continuous and up to +160 °C short-term. When you’re wiring switchboards or HVAC units, this tolerance prevents insulation fatigue during load peaks.
For bulk supply, choosing standard cross-sections (1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10 mm²) keeps logistics simple and covers roughly 90 % of commercial projects.
Inside conduits or wall chases, Hager installation wires are valued for their uniform diameter and low friction sheath. The insulation thickness is controlled within ±0.1 mm, so stripping tools don’t gouge conductors. Each roll is meter-marked for traceability, saving time when installers cut to length.
PVC versions suit fixed indoor circuits; halogen-free types comply with EN 50525-3 for offices, hospitals, or public buildings. In practice, halogen-free insulation reduces smoke density by more than 80 % compared to standard PVC — a key safety factor many procurement teams now include in specs.
For control panels, sensors, or PLC wiring, Hager low-voltage cables offer paired shielding and tinned conductors to minimise interference. Voltage rating is typically 300 V, tested for 2000 V dielectric strength. Shield coverage above 80 % ensures signal stability in industrial environments.
Procurement teams often combine these cables with Hager terminal blocks and protective conduits — the shared dimensions make routing faster and avoid mismatched gland sizes.
When you’re wiring equipment with moving parts — lifts, gates, or modular machinery — flexibility matters more than anything. Hager flexible copper cables use fine-strand class 6 conductors that maintain conductivity even under repeated bending. Minimum bend radius is roughly 5× cable diameter, meaning a 10 mm cable can curve safely within 50 mm.
The sheath resists oils and mechanical wear; UV-stabilised variants last outdoors without hardening. For procurement, stocking both fixed and flexible types lets installers adapt to site realities without mixing brands.
In basements, rooftops, or outdoor feeds, mechanical damage is a real risk. Hager armored cables solve that with steel wire armoring (SWA) around the insulated core. The armor supports impact energy up to 20 J and provides grounding continuity. Rated 600/1000 V, these cables withstand burial and direct sun exposure.
A 4-core 6 mm² SWA cable, for instance, can safely deliver around 40 A at 230 V, making it ideal for outdoor pumps or detached buildings.
Hager wiring accessories — glands, clips, and terminations — are made to match their cable sizes and insulation types. The result: neat entry points, proper strain relief, and verified IP ratings when used with Hager enclosures. Uniform accessories also simplify certification under IEC and CE compliance — an important point for professional installers and project supervisors
From experience, aligning cable types and accessories under one brand shortens inspection time and prevents mix-ups on the job site
