What Does H07RN-F Mean? – Decoding the Cable Designation
The harmonized European designation H07RN-F reveals all key properties at a glance:
- H = Harmonized European cable (EN 50525-2-21 / VDE 0282)
- 07 = Rated voltage 450/750 V
- R = EPR rubber insulation
- N = Neoprene (Polychloroprene) outer sheath
- -F = Fine-stranded flexible copper conductors (Class 5)
H07RNF is exactly the same cable — only written without hyphens. It is the heavy-duty version of rubber hose cables (compared to the lighter H05RN-F).
