RS PRO, 2182Y, 100m 2 Core, Black PVC Power Cable +70°C

From RS Pro a high-quality light duty harmonised H03VVH2-F flexible mains power cable with PVC insulation and a PVC jacket. This mains cable has a voltage rating of 300/500 V and is designed for use indoors for wiring in mobile and lightweight household and office applications

A mains power cable connects an appliance to a mains electricity supply through the use of a wall socket or an extension lead which will then be plugged into a mains supply

This flexible power cable consists of 2 or 3 cores made up of fine IEC 60228 Class 5 stranded copper conductors or wires. Each individual core is surrounded by colour coded PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) insulation for easy identification of the wires. Both the cores are then surrounded by a final outer layer of PVC called a sheath or jacket.

H03VV-F cable is a type of harmonised (or HAR) cable which means it belongs to the Harmonised reference system and conforms to the European Harmonisation Standard. This purpose of this standard is to improve standards and quality of cables across Europe to ensure the trade of a common standard product.

H03VV-F is the code for this harmonised cable which breaks down into the following:

• H = Harmonised
• 03 = 300 / 500 voltage rating
• V = PVC insulation
• V = PVC sheath
• F = Flexible copper conductors
