German Standard Industrial Cable H05V2-U / H07V2-U
Product Overview
The H05V2-U and H07V2-U are German standard industrial cables designed for fixed protected installation inside appliances and in, or on, lighting fittings. They are suitable for installation in surface mounted or embedded conduits, and only for signalling and control circuits.
The maximum conductor temperature in normal use is 90°C. The cables must not be used in contact with objects higher than 85°C and are not suitable for fixed distribution systems. They are manufactured to <HAR> HD 21.7 S2, VDE-0281 Part-7, CEI20-20/7, and comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC. They are also ROHS compliant.
