The H05VVH2-F is a flat, flexible PVC-insulated and PVC-sheathed cable, designed for light-duty electrical applications in dry, damp, and wet environments. Its flat shape makes it particularly suitable for applications where space is limited or where round cables may be impractical.
This cable is widely used for:
Indoor appliances
Hand-held tools
Household equipment
It offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for low-voltage connections.
300/500 V
Suitable for nominal AC voltage applications up to 500V between conductors, and 300V between conductor and earth.

Q: What is the difference between H05VVH2-F and H03VVH2-F?
A: H05VVH2-F is rated for 300/500V, while H03VVH2-F is rated for 300/300V. H05VVH2-F has thicker insulation and is suitable for higher voltage applications.
Q: Can this cable be used outdoors?
A: H05VVH2-F is primarily designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, a cable with UV-resistant and weather-resistant sheath (e.g., H05RN-F or H07RN-F) is recommended.
Q: Is the cable oil resistant?
A: Standard PVC sheathed cables (H05VVH2-F) are not oil resistant. For oil-exposed environments, consider cables with special oil-resistant PVC or rubber sheaths.
Q: What is the maximum length for a single roll?
A: Standard roll lengths are 100 m and 200 m. Longer lengths can be arranged upon request.
Q: Does the cable contain halogen?
A: Yes, standard PVC insulation and sheath contain halogens. For halogen-free applications, please request LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) versions.
Q: What is the minimum bending radius?
A: 4 × overall diameter for fixed installation, 6 × overall diameter for flexible use.
Q: What colors are available for the outer sheath?
A: Typically white, black, or gray. Transparent and custom colors are available upon request.
