RS PRO 2 Core, Black CPE Sheath Power Cable +60°C

From RS Pro a high-quality heavy duty and hard wearing H07RN-F flexible mains power cable with rubber insulation and thermoplastic jacket. This cable has a voltage rating of 450 to 750 V and is designed for use in demanding industrial environments

A mains power cable connects an appliance to a mains electricity supply through the use of a wall socket or an extension lead which will then be plugged into a mains supply

This flexible mains cable consists of either 2,3 4 or 5 cores made up of bare stranded copper conductors or wires. Each individual core is surrounded by colour coded EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulation for easy identification of the wires. All the cores are then surrounded by a final layer of CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene) called a sheath or jacket.

H07RN-F cable is a type of harmonized (or HAR) cable which means it belongs to the Harmonised reference system and conforms to the European Harmonisation Standard. This purpose of this standard is to improve standards and quality of cables across Europe to ensure the trade of common standard product.

H07RN-F is the code for this harmonised cable which breaks down into the following:

• H = Harmonized
• 07 = 450 / 750 voltage rating
• R = Elastomeric (rubber) insulation
• N = PCP or equivalent sheath
• F = Flexible copper conductors

This flexible mains cable is made from materials with unique qualities that make it suitable for use in demanding environments.

The EPR insulation has the following benefits:
• High resistance to abrasion
• Good weathering stability
• Durable and long lasting

The CPE Jacket has the following benefits
• Good resistance to chemicals and oils
• Good resistance to UV
• Resitant to low temperatures
• Flexible and durable

Rubber insulated mains cables, with their unique properties are ideal for use in a wide range of industrial wiring applications. These cables are especially suited to applications that require cabling to be durable, flexible and be able to withstand a medium degree of mechanical stress. Industries include the manufacturing industry, distribution and power networks, telecommunications, building, automation, and many others. Applications include;

• Electrical tools eg drills and circular saws
• Transportable motors
• Generators
• Heating plates
• Boilers
• Lighting
• Household appliances
• Industrial equipment
• Power and control applications
• Distribution and power networks

VDE0282

Able to withstand weather, thermal and mechanical stresses, this mains power cable is designed to help you power equipment in all kinds of challenging locations.

As it's sheathed in a flexible, water-resistant rubber compound, it makes an ideal choice for wet areas including ports, dams and water treatment facilities. The cable's ability to withstand oil and grease also means it's an effective option for use in industrial environments. Other common applications include mobile power supplies and worksites as well as stage and audio-visual equipment.

The cable is compliant with a range of European standards. These include VDE0282, meaning it's certified as a safe and effective low-voltage energy cable, as well as RoHS, so it contains minimal levels of harmful substances. Its two stranded cores have a cross-sectional area of 1 mm² with an outer diameter of 8.3 mm. It's available in a length of 50 metres.

• Multicore power cable
• 2 x 1.0 mm cores, resistance of 19.5 Ω/km
• Stranded cable with CPE rubber compound sheath for flexibility
• 50-metre reel
• Outer diameter of 8.3 mm
• Maximum operating temperature of +60˚C
• Voltage rating of 450 V, 750 V
