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, and household equipment, offering 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.
H05VVH2-F
H – Harmonized cable type (European standard)
05 – Rated voltage 300/500V
V – PVC insulation
V – PVC inner sheath (not applicable in this flat construction)
H2 – Flat cable (twin core or multi-core flat configuration)
F – Fine stranded conductor (flexible)
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| TS 9760 | Turkish standard for PVC insulated cables |
| IEC 60227 (formerly IEC 227) | International standard for PVC insulated cables |
| VDE 0281 | German standard for PVC insulated cables |
| BS 6500 | British standard for flexible cables for appliances |
These certifications ensure that the cable meets international safety, electrical, and mechanical performance requirements.
| Layer | Material | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Conductor | Flexible copper conductor | Class 5 or Class 6 fine stranded copper according to IEC 60228, providing high flexibility and ease of handling. |
| Insulation | PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) | Color-coded insulation (e.g., brown/blue for 2-core, or brown/black/grey for 3-core) according to HD 308 S2. Provides basic electrical insulation and protection. |
| Outer Sheath | PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) | Transparent or colored PVC outer sheath (usually white, black, or gray). The flat shape allows for compact installation and easy stripping. |
The H05VVH2-F cable is designed for light mechanical stress and is ideal for:
Household appliances: washing machines, refrigerators, kitchen appliances
Hand-held tools: drills, grinders, small power tools
Indoor lighting and extension leads
Office equipment: printers, computers, monitors
Audio and video equipment connections
Control circuits in light industrial environments
Due to its flat shape, it is especially suitable for applications where:
Space behind furniture or equipment is limited
Cables must be routed under carpets or along baseboards
Round cables would be too bulky or visually intrusive

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 100m and 200m. 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.
