H05VVC4V5-K Cable

What is H05VVC4V5-K Cable?

The H05VVC4V5-K cable is a low-voltage, unarmored and shielded flexible control and instrumentation cable featuring Class 5 fine-stranded bare copper conductors, PVC TI 2 insulation, an overall tinned copper wire braid (TCWB) screen, and an oil-resistant PVC TM2 outer sheath complying with VDE 0281-13, VDE 0482-332-1-2, and IEC 60332-1 standards. It is designed for fixed wiring and moved power or process control distribution up to 300/500V in industrial automation and machine tool applications requiring stringent EMC compliance.

Engineered to mitigate electrical noise and withstand aggressive chemical contamination on factory floors, the cable incorporates a high-density braided tinned copper shield that achieves a low transfer impedance of 250 Ω/km to prevent signal cross-talk and high-frequency interference. Paired with an EN 60811-2-1 certified PVC TM2 outer compound, it provides enduring resistance against common industrial mineral oils, coolants, and mechanical abrasion in complex production lines.

H05VVC4V5-K Cable Construction

• Conductor: Class 5 fine-stranded bare copper conductors per IEC/EN 60228 delivering superior flexibility and low electrical resistance.
• Insulation: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound type TI 2 offering dependable dielectric strength up to +70°C.
• Bedding / Inner Layer: Compact core assembly designed for flexible industrial routing.
• Screen: Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) providing 360-degree electromagnetic shielding with 250 Ω/km transfer impedance.
• Outer Sheath: Specially formulated oil- and chemical-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound type TM2, flame retardant per IEC 60332-1.
• Core Identification: Black cores with consecutive white numbering + Green/Yellow protective earth conductor.
• Sheath Colour: Grey.

Applications

H05VVC4V5-K cables are specifically developed for signal and power interconnection in industrial machinery, automated assembly plants, and control panels where equipment is exposed to lubricating oils, chemical coolants, and intense electromagnetic fields. Their flexible Class 5 conductors and oil-resistant TM2 sheath ensure operational longevity in both static and free-moving setups without tensile stress.

Typical installation environments include:

• CNC Machine Tools & Production Lines: Power and control wiring exposed to cutting fluids, greases, and continuous spray.
• Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) & Servo Systems: Interconnect lines requiring suppression of high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMC).
• Industrial Instrumentation & Process Control: Connecting sensors, measurement instruments, and PLCs across manufacturing plants.
• Conveyor & Material Handling Equipment: Free-moving flexible applications operating within dry, damp, or wet industrial workshops.

Specifications & Dimensions

The H05VVC4V5-K cable series covers multi-conductor configurations from 3 cores up to 34 cores, with nominal conductor cross-sections spanning 0.75mm², 1.0mm², 1.5mm², and 2.5mm². Operating at a rated voltage of 300/500V (2kV test voltage), the cable supports fixed installations from -40°C to +70°C and moved applications from -5°C to +70°C, maintaining a minimum bending radius of 6× OD (fixed) and 20× OD (moved). All conductor DC resistance limits (26 Ω/km for 0.75mm² down to 7.98 Ω/km for 2.5mm²), overall diameters, and nominal weights strictly align with VDE 0281-13 and European harmonized standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the designation ‘H05VVC4V5-K’ signify under European harmonized cable standards?
A: According to harmonized coding, ‘H05’ indicates a 300/500V rated voltage, ‘V’ denotes PVC insulation, ‘V’ represents inner PVC bedding, ‘C4’ specifies the tinned copper wire braid screen, ‘V5’ designates the oil-resistant PVC outer sheath, and ‘-K’ signifies Class 5 fine-stranded flexible copper conductors.

Q: How does the TCWB screen with 250 Ω/km transfer impedance benefit automated machinery?
A: The Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) screen creates a low-resistance barrier that effectively confines internal radiation and reflects external electromagnetic fields, safeguarding analog and digital control signals from motor drive distortion and electrical noise.

Q: What is the primary operational advantage of the PVC TM2 outer sheath over standard PVC?
A: The specialized PVC TM2 compound conforms to EN 60811-2-1 oil resistance standards, preventing jacket swelling, hardening, or cracking when continuously exposed to industrial cutting oils, mineral greases, and coolants.

Q: What payment terms does Huadong Cable Group accept for international export contracts?
A: We provide standard international commercial terms including Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) and 100% Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight for engineering contractors and industrial machinery OEMs.
