H05G-U / H07G-U/R German Standard Industrial Cable
Product Overview
The H05G-U, H07G-U and H07G-R are German standard industrial cables recommended for the internal wiring of switchboards and distributor boards, as well as in operating parts in or on lights. The higher temperature range allows for connections to heaters with an alternating nominal voltage of 1000V or direct nominal voltage of 750V. These cables are all allowed for laying in tubes in and under plaster.
The cables are manufactured to <HAR> HD 22.7 S2, VDE-0282 Part-7, CEI 20-19/7, CEI 20-35 (EN60332-1), and comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC. They are also ROHS compliant.
