H05VV5-F Cable

What is H05VV5-F Cable?

The H05VV5-F cable is a low-voltage, unarmored and unscreened flexible control cable featuring Class 5 fine-stranded bare copper conductors, PVC TI 2 insulation, and an oil-resistant PVC TM2 outer sheath complying with VDE 0281-12, VDE 0482-332-1-2, and IEC 60332-1 standards. It is designed for fixed installation and flexible moved applications up to 300/500V in heavy industrial machinery, process control, and factory automation environments.

Engineered to deliver high physical flexibility while resisting chemical degradation on modern shop floors, this cable features an unshielded, streamlined outer geometry that facilitates easy routing through compact conduits and machine channels. Its EN 60811-2-1 compliant PVC TM2 outer sheath prevents outer jacket swelling, softening, and micro-cracking when continuously exposed to industrial mineral oils, lubricating greases, and harsh coolant sprays.

H05VV5-F Cable Construction

• Conductor: Class 5 fine-stranded bare copper conductors per IEC/EN 60228 delivering high flexibility and superior conductivity.
• Insulation: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound type TI 2 rated for continuous operating temperatures up to +70°C.
• Bedding / Inner Layer: Compact core assembly engineered for free movement and flexible routing.
• Screen / Armour: Unscreened / Non-armored design optimized for minimal cable weight and compact outer diameter.
• Outer Sheath: Specially formulated oil-, chemical-, and grease-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound type TM2, flame retardant per IEC 60332-1.
• Core Identification: Black cores with continuous white numbering + Green/Yellow protective earth conductor.
• Sheath Colour: Grey.

Applications

H05VV5-F cables are engineered for flexible power supply, process instrumentation, and control wiring across automated industrial environments where unshielded, oil-resistant interconnection is required. Their high mechanical resilience and specialized TM2 jacket ensure dependable service in dry, damp, and wet manufacturing conditions without tensile load.

Typical installation environments include:

• CNC Machine Tools & Automated Production Lines: Power and control links continuously exposed to cutting fluids, mineral oils, and grease splash.
• Assembly & Packaging Conveyors: Flexible interconnection for pick-and-place drives, automated sorting tables, and material handling lines.
• Industrial Control Panels & Switchgear Cabling: High-density internal cabinet wiring and plant process instrumentation requiring tight bending radii.
• General Mechanical Engineering: Free-moving flexible machinery connections operating within industrial workshops and processing facilities.

Specifications & Dimensions

The H05VV5-F cable range covers versatile multi-core configurations from 3 cores up to 34 cores, with nominal conductor cross-sections of 0.75mm², 1.0mm², 1.5mm², and 2.5mm². Rated for 300/500V operating voltage with a 2kV test voltage, the cable supports fixed installations from -40°C to +70°C and moved flexible applications from -5°C to +70°C, maintaining a tight minimum bending radius of 4× OD (fixed) and 12.5× OD (moved). All conductor strand bunching densities, overall diameters, and nominal weights strictly align with VDE 0281-12 and European harmonized manufacturing guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the key structural difference between H05VV5-F and H05VVC4V5-K cables?
A: H05VV5-F is an unshielded (unscreened) flexible control cable designed for standard machinery wiring, whereas H05VVC4V5-K incorporates an overall Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) screen to eliminate high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMC).

Q: How does the PVC TM2 outer sheath enhance cable service life in industrial environments?
A: The specialized PVC TM2 compound conforms to EN 60811-2-1 oil resistance standards, preventing outer jacket swelling, hardening, and premature cracking when continuously subjected to cutting oils, lubricants, and hydraulic greases.

Q: What are the minimum bending radius limits for H05VV5-F cable during installation?
A: The minimum bending radius for H05VV5-F is 4 times the overall cable diameter (4× OD) for fixed installations and 12.5 times the overall diameter (12.5× OD) for flexible, moved applications without tensile load.

Q: What payment terms does Huadong Cable Group accept for international export contracts?
A: We accept standard international B2B commercial terms, including Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) and 100% Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight for overseas engineering and OEM projects.
