RS PRO 3 Core Thermoplastic Elastomers TPE Sheath Mains Power Cable +85°C

RS PRO H07RN-F Harmonised Rubber Insulated Mains Cable

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

What is Mains Cable?

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

Cable Construction

This flexible mains cable consists of cores made up of bare stranded copper conductors or wires. Each individual core is surrounded by colour coded rubber insulation for easy identification of the wires. All the cores are then surrounded by a final layer of chloroprene rubber called a sheath or jacket.

What Does H07RN-F Mean?

H07RN-F cable is a type of harmonised 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 = Harmonised
• 07 = 450 / 750 voltage rating
• R = Natural or synthetic rubber insulation
• N = Chloroprene or polychloroprene rubber sheath
• F = Flexible copper conductors

Benefits of Rubber Insulated Mains Cable

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

The cable jacket has the following benefits
• Durable and long lasting
• High resistance to abrasion
• Good weathering stability
• Good tensile strength
• Flame resistant and and self extinguishing
• Resistance to oils and other chemicals
