Application

H05Z1Z1-F is the halogen-free counterpart of H05VV-F: the same connecting cord for 300/500 V, but with LSZH insulation and sheath that give little smoke and no corrosive gases in a fire. For hospitals, schools and airports. Supplied to order; the lead time is stated in the quote.

H05Z1Z1-F is a harmonised flexible cable to EN 50525-3-11 with halogen-free thermoplastic insulation and sheath, rated 300/500 V. It is the low-smoke, halogen-free counterpart of H05VV-F and is intended for the connection of household and office appliances, pendant luminaires and portable equipment subject to medium mechanical stress in dry indoor locations, in particular in public buildings such as hospitals, schools, shopping centres and airports where fire safety, low smoke density and the absence of corrosive gases are required. In the event of fire the cable does not propagate flame and emits only low quantities of smoke and no halogen acids. The cable is not intended for permanent outdoor use, for industrial applications with heavy mechanical stress or for continuous reeling or forced-guided use.

Also known as: halogen-free cord · halogen-free VTMB

Applications

  • Connection of appliances, pendant luminaires and portable equipment in public buildings.
  • Hospitals, schools, shopping centres and airports with low-smoke requirements.
  • Medium duty in dry indoor locations.

What to look out for

  • Halogen-free and low smoke, but flame-retardant, not fire-resistant.
  • Not for motorised reels or drag chains; for those use a drag-chain cable (PUR-JZ) or a reeling cable such as NSHTOEU.
  • For heavier, rubber-type duty choose H07ZZ-F.

Which one do I choose?

H05Z1Z1-F or H05VV-F?

H05Z1Z1-F

  • halogen-free

H05VV-F

  • PVC

H05Z1Z1-F is the halogen-free counterpart of H05VV-F: the same 300/500 V and the same medium duty, but the insulation and sheath give little smoke and no halogen acids in a fire. H05VV-F is PVC and lacks that property. Choose H05Z1Z1-F in hospitals, schools, shopping centres and airports, or where the specification calls for halogen-free; without that requirement H05VV-F is the usual choice.

H05Z1Z1-F or H07ZZ-F?

H05Z1Z1-F

  • thermoplastic
  • 300/500 V
  • dry indoor locations

H07ZZ-F

  • cross-linked, rubber-type
  • 450/750 V
  • outdoors and in wet locations

Both are halogen-free and low-smoke. H05Z1Z1-F is a thermoplastic cord for 300/500 V, for medium duty in dry indoor locations. H07ZZ-F has cross-linked, rubber-type insulation and sheath for 450/750 V, may also be used outdoors and in wet locations, and comes in much larger cross-sections. Choose H05Z1Z1-F for appliances and pendant luminaires indoors, and H07ZZ-F for stage technology, mobile power supplies and machines.
