RS PRO 5 Core Power Cable, 2.5 mm², 50m, Black CPE Sheath, 450/750 V ac

From RS Pro a high-quality heavy duty and hard wearing H07RN-F flexible mains power cable with rubber insulation and thermoplastic jacket. This cable has a voltage rating of 450 to 750 V and is designed for use in demanding industrial environments

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 mains cable consists of either 2,3 4 or 5 cores made up of bare stranded copper conductors or wires. Each individual core is surrounded by colour coded EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulation for easy identification of the wires. All the cores are then surrounded by a final layer of CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene) called a sheath or jacket.

H07RN-F cable is a type of harmonized (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 common standard product.

H07RN-F is the code for this harmonised cable which breaks down into the following:

• H = Harmonized
• 07 = 450 / 750 voltage rating
• R = Elastomeric (rubber) insulation
• N = PCP or equivalent sheath
• F = Flexible copper conductors

This flexible mains cable is made from materials with unique qualities that make it suitable for use in demanding environments.

The EPR insulation has the following benefits:
• High resistance to abrasion
• Good weathering stability
• Durable and long lasting

The CPE Jacket has the following benefits
• Good resistance to chemicals and oils
• Good resistance to UV
• Resitant to low temperatures
• Flexible and durable

Rubber insulated mains cables, with their unique properties are ideal for use in a wide range of industrial wiring applications. These cables are especially suited to applications that require cabling to be durable, flexible and be able to withstand a medium degree of mechanical stress. Industries include the manufacturing industry, distribution and power networks, telecommunications, building, automation, and many others. Applications include;

• Electrical tools eg drills and circular saws
• Transportable motors
• Generators
• Heating plates
• Boilers
• Lighting
• Household appliances
• Industrial equipment
• Power and control applications
• Distribution and power networks

Having flexible CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene) sheathed five core round Cable with broadly known EPR insulation material is a panacea to the world demanding connection needs. Mainly where oxidation, heat, oil or flame resistance are crucial parameters in any building construction.

We are proudly introducing our own branded RS PRO H07RN-F Harmonised Flexible EPR Insulated Mains Cable characterising of high dielectric strength and above-average ozone and weathering resistance. The conductor material used is bare stranded copper, providing the highest electrical conductivity of all non-precious metals.

The copper's natural Power Cable makes it easy to work with thanks to the ability to bend or twist without breaking the material. The material is safe during installation, which will find appreciation by electricians while installing copper wire. Another advantage is that no special tools are needed, meaning less time to absorb your day.

There are no surprises as to where the Electrical Mains Cable supply serves. This flexible Cable has a voltage rating of 450 V up to 750 V making it perfect solutions for use in medium-duty domestic and light industrial appliances.
The EPR Mains Power Cable has a medium thermal range in the region of -25°C up to +60°C. The sheath is one of the few polymers that come both as thermoplastic and thermoset jacket. This combination is making the CPE jacket resistant to weather /sun and flame, letting you make the use of the Cable almost everywhere.

The core of 5 wiring systems serves as Mains Cable power supplying electricity using a wall socket or an extension lead, which will then be plugged into a mains supply.

The copper conductor meets Eroclass Eca network Cable standards, giving you access to construction site projects where safety is vital.

The Mains Power is suitable to use in:

• Construction sites (public or private electrical line or wiring in power installation)


• Domestic use (sheds, garden office)


• Industrial sites (warehouse, back office)


• Electrical operating tools


• Construction lighting and machines

What is a Mains Cable?

In simple term, a Mains Cable, also known as Power Cord or Line Cord is an electric cable that temporarily connects an appliance to the mains electricity supply either by wall socket or extension cord.
