Application

H05RN-F is the light rubber cable for 300/500 V: EPR insulation with an oil- and weather-resistant polychloroprene sheath. For portable appliances and tools under light duty, including outdoors. Heavier work: H07RN-F. Supplied to order; the lead time is stated in the quote.

H05RN-F is a harmonised light-duty flexible cable to EN 50525-2-21 with EPR rubber insulation and a polychloroprene (CR) sheath, rated 300/500 V. It is intended for supplying portable and hand-held appliances and tools subject to light mechanical stress in households, kitchens, offices and workshops, in dry, damp and wet locations, and for permanent use outdoors under ordinary-duty conditions. The polychloroprene sheath is oil-, ozone- and weather-resistant and the cable is flame-retardant. Heavier mechanical duty, larger cross-sections or a 450/750 V rating call for H07RN-F.

Applications

  • Supply to portable and hand-held appliances and tools.
  • Households, kitchens, offices and workshops, including damp and wet locations.
  • Permanent outdoor use under ordinary duty.

What to look out for

  • For heavy duty, large cross-sections or 450/750 V choose H07RN-F.
  • Not for motorised reels or drag chains; for those use a drag-chain cable (PUR-JZ) or a reeling cable such as NSHTOEU.

Which one do I choose?

H05RN-F or H07RN-F?

H05RN-F

  • 300/500 V
  • 0.75 and 1 mm²
  • light mechanical stress

H07RN-F

  • 450/750 V
  • up to 630 mm²
  • high mechanical stress

The same material, EPR insulation under a polychloroprene sheath, but a different duty class. H05RN-F is 300/500 V, comes in 0.75 and 1 mm² and is for light mechanical stress. H07RN-F is 450/750 V, is built for high mechanical stress and goes up to 630 mm². For light portable appliances H05RN-F is enough; for the building site, machines or more than 1 mm² choose H07RN-F.

H05RN-F or H05RR-F?

H05RN-F

  • polychloroprene sheath
  • oil-resistant
  • may be used permanently outdoors

H05RR-F

  • ordinary rubber sheath
  • not oil-resistant
  • intended for indoor use

Both are 300/500 V rubber cables with EPR insulation. H05RN-F has a polychloroprene sheath that is oil-, ozone- and weather-resistant and may be used permanently outdoors. H05RR-F has an ordinary rubber sheath, is not oil-resistant and is intended for indoor use. For outdoors, wet locations or contact with oil choose H05RN-F; H05RR-F is for portable appliances in dry and damp indoor locations.
