H05RR-F 300/500V Rubber Flexible Cable – BS EN 50525-2-21

H05RR-F BS EN 50525-2-21 Rubber Flexible Cable

Product Overview

The H05RR-F is a 300/500V low voltage rubber flexible cable designed for handheld and power supply devices according to EN 50565-2. It is suitable for lightweight workshop tools subject to light loads, as well as light and sound technology applications.

According to EN 50565-2, the cable is intended for dry and damp rooms, with only temporary use outdoors. It is not for industrial/commercial or agricultural facilities, except tailors/cutting workshops, and is not suitable for supplying industrial power tools. The cable carries <HAR> cable type approval according to EN 50525-2-21.
