Workshop cable H05VV-F (OWY) 2x2.5 white /100m/ G-113194

Workshop cable H05VV-F, commonly known as OWY, is a flexible power cable designed for a wide range of applications. Made with a class 5 multi-strand copper core, insulated and covered with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it provides reliable connections in both dry and damp environments. It is a versatile solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for a safe and durable cable for medium mechanical load devices.

Characteristics and application

The H05VV-F cable is ideal for powering workshop equipment, household appliances and other receivers requiring a flexible connection. Thanks to its construction, this cable performs well in areas exposed to movement and bending. It can also be used for heating devices, provided direct contact with hot elements is avoided. The rated voltage of 300/500V and the permissible operating temperature of up to 70°C guarantee safe and efficient operation in various conditions.

Advantages and benefits

• Flexibility: The class 5 multi-strand copper core provides high cable flexibility, making it easier to install and adapt to different configurations.
• Durability: The PVC coating and insulation protect the cable from mechanical damage and external factors.
• Safety: Flame retardancy in accordance with IEC 60332-1-2 increases safety in the event of a fire.
• Versatility: A wide range of applications – from workshop equipment to household appliances – makes it the ideal cable for many projects.
• Temperature resistance: Permissible operating temperature up to 70°C allows the cable to be used in various environmental conditions.
• Core identification: Colour-coded cores make it easier to connect cables correctly in accordance with applicable standards (HD 308 S2).

Technical parameters and construction

The H05VV-F cable is characterized by a core cross-section of 2.5 mm², which provides adequate conductivity for most household and workshop applications. The core resistance is 7.98 Ohm/km, and the outer diameter of the cable is approximately 9.16 mm. The cable construction includes a multi-strand copper core surrounded by PVC insulation and an external PVC coating for additional protection. The cable does not have a screen or armour, making it lightweight and easy to install. The permissible bending radius in fixed installations is 54.96 mm, which should be taken into account during installation to avoid damaging the cable. The cable weight is approximately 121.852 kg/km – important information when estimating the amount of material needed for larger projects.
