Welcome to the world of cables!
This brochure introduces our instrumentation, fi re
resistant and fi bre optical cables.
The cables are manufactured by Helkama Bica Oy, a family-
owned company currently being run by the fourth generation.
Cables have been produced for more than 40 years by the
Helkama Group, which itself is over 100 years old.
The Helkama name stands for quality, fl exibility and personal
service. We focus on our customers’ needs and short
delivery times.
Since time is of essence in today’s world, we keep
stock of the most common instrumentation,
fi re resistant and fi bre optical cables, which
enables us to respond immediately to our
customers’ needs. Although a cable is
not normally a major cost in a project,
a missing cable can be extremely
expensive. This is why our ex-
perienced personnel are trained
to go that extra mile to satisfy
the needs of our customers
– your needs!
Our RE-instrumentation cables have
the GOST R certifi cate required for
the Russian market.
For more details, see the cable data
sheets in this brochure. If you cannot fi nd a
cable matching your needs in this brochure,
we are open to discussing the possibilities of
manufacturing one to your requirements.
HELKAMA – today, tomorrow…and in the future!

Insulation material:
The following designations are
used for insulation materials in
this catalog.
XLPE stands for cross-linked
polyethylene compound. It has
excellent mechanical and
electrical characteristics.
Sheathing material:
The designation SHF1 stands for
thermoplastic compound. This
material is halogen-free, highly
fl ame-retardant and has low
smoke emission.

Defi nition of terms:
Flame-retardant
To be fl ame-retardant, the cables
must withstand the test specifi ed
in IEC standard 60332-3 or
IEC 60332-1. Flame-retardant
cables do not propagate fi re and
are self-extinguishing.
IEC 60332-3 is the test for
bunched wires and cables and
has three categories - A, B and
C - which are defi ned by different
limits for fl ammable material and
burning times. The burning time
is the length of time the burner
is directed towards the bunch of
cables. For the cables to pass the
test, they must extinguish them-
selves once the burner has been
removed. Burning may not occur
more than 2.5 m from the burner
as shown in the fi gure.
All Helkama cables comply with
the most severe requirements of
category A.

IEC 60332-1 is the test for a
single insulated wire and cable.
The test procedure and require-
ments are shown in the following
diagram.
A min. 50 mm of the cable, mea-
sured from the upper support,
must remain unburned after
the specifi ed time.
Fire-resistant
To be classifi ed as fi re-resistant,
the cables must withstand the
test specifi ed in standard
IEC 60331-21. The cables must
operate for a minimum of 90
minutes while the burner is direct-
ed towards them as shown
beside. Helkama fi re-resistant
cables are also fl ame-retardant.
Halogen-free
Halogen-free refers to the absence
of halogens, such as chlorine and
fl uorine, and is determined on
the basis of the halogen content
and the acidity of cable´s gases.
IEC 60754-1 determines the
halogen content of the material.
To meet the halogen-free require-
ments, the halogen content
of the material may not exceed
0.5% or 5 mg/g.
IEC 60754-2 determines the
degree of acidity of gases evolved
during combustion. The limit
values are 4.3 for pH and
10 mikroS for conductivity.
27m3 cube
smoke
chamber
Requirements:
60% light transmittance
Smoke emission
Smoke emission refers to visibility
in a fi re. The greater the light
transmittance, the better the
visibility.
When tested in accordance with
IEC 61034-1 (test method) and
IEC 61034-2 (test requirements)
the smoke emission of a cable
during a fi re must not exceed the
following values.
