(H)03Z1Z1-F / (H)05Z1Z1-F German Standard Industrial Cable

Low Voltage Power Cables Halogen-Free / LSZH Cables
Description

Product Overview

The (H)03Z1Z1-F and (H)05Z1Z1-F are German standard industrial cables designed for applications where halogen-free, low smoke, and low corrosive gas properties are required in the event of a fire. These flexible cables feature fine bare copper strands, thermoplastic TI6 core insulation, and a halogen-free thermoplastic TM7 outer jacket.

They are intended for moderate demands in houses, kitchens, and offices, as well as for household equipment in damp rooms such as washing machines, dryers, and refrigerators. They are also suitable for cooking and heating equipment, provided the cable is not in contact with hot components or heat radiation.

Important Limitations: Not suitable for use in high-temperature areas (e.g., lighting equipment), outside buildings, in industrial or agricultural buildings, or for the connection of electrical power tools.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Halogen-Free & Low Smoke: LSZH construction minimises toxic and corrosive gases, protecting people and equipment during a fire.

  • Flame Retardant: Complies with EN 50265-2-1 and IEC 60332.1 for flame propagation.

  • Cold Resistant: Fixed installation temperature down to -40°C.

  • Flexible: Fine bare copper strands (Class 5) for ease of installation.

  • ROHS Compliant: Meets environmental and health requirements.

  • Low Voltage: Suitable for 300/300 V (H03Z1Z1-F) and 300/500 V (H05Z1Z1-F) systems.

  • Working Temperature: Up to +70°C for continuous operation.

Typical Applications

  • Household appliances in damp rooms (washing machines, dryers, refrigerators)

  • Kitchen and office equipment with moderate demands

  • Cooking and heating equipment (not in contact with hot components or heat radiation)

  • Fixed protected installations in residential and commercial buildings

Not suitable for: High-temperature areas (lighting equipment), outdoor use, industrial or agricultural buildings, or power tools.
