Why is EQQ better than MMJ? Three reasons to choose a more modern installation cable.
Cable selection significantly affects the smoothness, safety, and outcome of electrical installations. The halogen-free EQQ installation cable is a modern choice, offering many advantages that make it a better alternative compared to the traditional MMJ cable.
1. Excellent strippability and smoother installation work
EQQ is flexible and very easy to strip, which speeds up installation and reduces the risk of errors. When the installer’s work flows more smoothly, time is saved and labor costs are reduced. The cable’s easy strippability also lowers the risk of damage to conductors, improving both the quality and safety of the installation.
2. Fire safety
Halogen-free EQQ does not produce harmful smoke gases or thick black smoke when burning, unlike MMJ’s PVC insulation. This improves safety during storage and in environments such as homes and public buildings.
In the event of a fire, gases and dense smoke from MMJ’s PVC insulation significantly hinder evacuation, reduce exit safety, and damage equipment and furnishings.
3. Simplifies work and product selection
Choosing EQQ makes it easy to ensure that electrical installations meet today’s and future requirements.
For example, EQQ LiteRex is a fully UV-protected, halogen-free, and flame-retardant installation cable in CPR fire class Dca-s2,d2,a2, making it suitable for most installations. It also comes with a third-party verified environmental product declaration (PEP/EPD), which assesses the product’s environmental impact throughout its entire lifecycle.
