H07RN-F Cable
H07RN-F cable is an outdoor power cable that is popular in many applications. In this article, I will talk about the features and applications of H07RN-F cable.
What is H07RN-F?
H07RN-F, according to the related cable Harmonized Codes, we can split this model like this:
- H: Harmonized European Standard cable
- 07: Nominal voltage 450/750V
- R: EPR rubber insulation
- N: CR neoprene sheath
- F: Flexible conductor of a flexible cable or cord (flexibility according to Class 5 of HD 383)
In summary, the insulation and sheath of this cable are made of rubber. So the rubber material will bring the following characteristics to the H07RN-F cable:
Pros:
- Flexible
- Good weather resistance
- Good oil resistance
- Tensile properties
- Temperature range: -40º C to +60º C
Disadvantages:
- Rubber material is heavy
- Rubber material is more expensive
Why Choose H07RN-F Cable?
Why choose H07RN-F cable, we have to combine the specific application scenarios to explain.
A. Outdoor Engineering
H07RN-F, such as 5G2.5 and 5G6mm cables, are usually chosen for the power supply of machinery in outdoor projects. Because usually the cable in the outdoor engineering work will encounter these situations
- Cables are exposed to rain and sunlight.
- Cables will come into contact with diesel oil on some machines and equipment.
- Cables are often dragged and may be rubbed by sharp objects.
Therefore, usually the constructor will choose H07RN-F as the outdoor power supply cable, especially for construction sites and mines.
B. Stage Lighting and Sound Equipment
H07RN-F is also commonly used in stage lighting, and audio equipment power supply, commonly used 5g2.5 5g4 these specifications. H07RN-F is highly flexible is too suitable for stage lighting wiring, it greatly reduces the time of the relevant personnel wiring. At the same time, these cables are drop resistant and not afraid of friction. There is no cracking even when thrown at high altitude.
* But we should also note that these cables are NOT suitable for long time immersion in deep water, the pressure of water will make the cable lose the ability to work properly. For submersible pump cables, please choose the relevant H07RN8-F.
How to Ensure the Quality of H07RN-F?
1. The easiest way is to check if the cable has a CE VDE certificate or other authoritative laboratory report.
2. Observe whether the cable is smooth and free of cracks.
3. Measure the weight of the cable (this is a very convenient way to measure the copper content of the cable).
The following table shows the weight and outer diameter of H07RN-F for reference.
