Other colours available on request Core identification: Per UNE 21089-1 and HD 308: 2-core: Blue + Brown 3-core (G): Blue + Brown + Green/Yellow 4-core (G): Brown + Black + Grey + Green/Yellow 5-core (G): Brown + Black + Grey + Blue + Green/Yellow Nominal voltage: U0/U = 300/500 V Test voltage: 2,000 V AC (conductor to conductor) Temperature range, flexible use: -5 °C to +50 °C Temperature range, fixed installation: -20 °C to +60 °C Minimum bending radius, flexible use: 6 × outer diameter Minimum bending radius, fixed installation: 4 × outer diameter Chemical resistance: Resistant to common household chemicals and limited oil exposure Applications The VV-F H05VV-F cable is intended for connecting small electrical appliances and for light-duty mobile and fixed wiring in domestic settings. It is not suitable for outdoor or industrial environments without supplementary mechanical protection. Supply cords for small household appliances: vacuum cleaners, washing machines, refrigerators, and similar white goods Light mobile equipment and portable tools used indoors Fixed wiring within furniture, wall partitions, and hollow spaces of prefabricated building components per applicable installation rules General household installations where flexible PVC cable is specified Standards and Conformity This cable is manufactured and tested in accordance with the following normative references. Compliance with these standards ensures electrical safety, mechanical performance, and chemical resistance suitable for the declared applications. EN 50525-2-11 — Electric cables — Low voltage energy cables of rated voltages up to and including 450/750 V — Part 2-11: Cables for general applications — Flexible cables with thermoplastic PVC insulation IEC 60227 — Polyvinyl chloride insulated cables of rated voltages up to and including 450/750 V (applicable clauses for type 60227 IEC 53, H05VV-F) UNE 21089-1 / HD 308 — Identification of cores in cables and flexible cords Construction Products Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 — Applicable where the cable forms part of permanently installed building infrastructure IEC 60228 — Conductors of insulated cables (class 5 flexible copper) Frequently Asked Questions What does the designation H05VV-F indicate? The designation H05VV-F is a harmonized European cable code. H denotes a harmonized standard type. 05 specifies the voltage rating of 300/500 V. The first V indicates PVC insulation; the second V indicates a PVC outer sheath. F signifies flexible construction using class 5 fine-stranded copper conductors per IEC 60228. This designation is defined under the EN 50525-2-11 and IEC 60227 series of standards. Can the VV-F H05VV-F cable be used outdoors or in wet conditions? No. The H05VV-F cable is designed exclusively for indoor use in dry or occasionally damp conditions. The standard PVC insulation and sheath compounds provide limited moisture resistance and no UV stabilisation. For outdoor applications or environments with sustained moisture exposure, a heavier-duty cable type under EN 50525-2-21 or a rubber-sheathed equivalent such as H05RR-F should be specified. Any external installation would also require additional mechanical and environmental protection. What is the significance of the class 5 conductor in this cable, and where is it required? A class 5 conductor consists of fine-stranded copper wires, as defined in IEC 60228, yielding significantly greater flexibility than solid (class 1) or stranded (class 2) conductors. This construction is required wherever the cable must withstand repeated flexing during normal use—such as the power cord of a vacuum cleaner or washing machine—or where tight bending radii are necessary during installation in confined spaces such as furniture channels or prefabricated wall cavities. It is not suitable for applications subject to continuous mechanical movement, which would require a class 6 conductor or a purpose-designed trailing cable.
