H07RN-F Cable Equivalents: International Cross-Reference
The H07RN-F cable is a harmonized European cable standard (EN 50525-2-21), but equivalent cables exist under different national and international designation systems. This H07RN-F cross-reference guide helps engineers and procurement professionals identify equivalent cables across IEC, UL, BS, VDE, and other standards.
TEBAOFLEX manufactures H07RN-F to full EN 50525-2-21 compliance with CE, VDE, and UL certifications. Contact us for equivalent cable recommendations.
H07RN-F International Equivalents Table
| Standard System | Designation | Country/Region | Key Differences |
|---|---|---|---|
| EN/Harmonized | H07RN-F | Europe (EU) | Reference standard |
| VDE | H07RN-F (VDE 0282-4) | Germany | Same as EN, German national adoption |
| BS | BS 6195 Type 4 / BS EN 50525 | UK | Now harmonized to EN 50525 |
| NFC | U1000 RN-F | France | French national equivalent, 1000V rated |
| CEI | CEI 20-22 Part 4 | Italy | Italian equivalent |
| UNE | UNE 210207 | Spain | Spanish national standard |
| UL/NEC | SEW/SJEOW (similar) | USA | Not exact equivalent — SEW is thermoset cord, similar but not identical |
| CSA | CEI Type SOW/SOOW | Canada | Portable cord equivalent, different test requirements |
| AS/NZS | AS/NZS 5000.2 (Type 2) | Australia/NZ | Australian equivalent for flexible cord |
| IS | IS 1293 (equivalent) | India | Indian standard, closely follows IEC |
Note: Equivalents are approximate. Always verify specific ratings, test requirements, and certifications with the manufacturer for your project.
North American Equivalents (UL/NEC)
There is no exact UL/NEC equivalent to H07RN-F because the European harmonized system and North American UL system use different test methods and classification criteria. The closest equivalents are:
| UL Type | Voltage | Closest Match | Differences from H07RN-F |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEW | 600V | Best match | Thermoset (rubber) insulated, neoprene/jacketed. 600V vs 450/750V. UL listed. |
| SJEOW | 300V | Lower voltage | Similar construction but only 300V rated, lighter duty |
| SOW | 600V | Heavy-duty | Similar to SEW but heavier construction |
| SOOW | 600V | Oil-resistant | Oil-resistant jacket, similar to H07RN-F in many applications |
For North American projects requiring UL listing, TEBAOFLEX can manufacture SOOW and SEW type cables. For dual-certified projects, contact us.
TEBAOFLEX vs International Brand Equivalents
TEBAOFLEX H07RN-F is equivalent in construction and performance to cables from leading international brands:
| Brand | Equivalent Product | Comparable |
|---|---|---|
| Lapp Group | ÖLFLEX Classic 110 / RN-F | Equivalent construction, EN 50525-2-21 |
| Nexans | H07RN-F per EN 50525 | Same standard, equivalent performance |
| Prysmian | H07RN-F range | Same standard, equivalent performance |
| Helukabel | H07RN-F series | Same harmonized standard |
| BICC / General Cable | RHZ1 / RN-F type | Same construction, same standard |
TEBAOFLEX advantage: Factory-direct pricing (typically 30-50% lower than European brands), same EN 50525-2-21 standard, CE/VDE/UL certified, global export experience. Request a quotation to compare pricing.
How to Verify H07RN-F Cable Quality
When sourcing H07RN-F cable equivalents, verify:
- Standard compliance: EN 50525-2-21 (or VDE 0282-4) on datasheet
- Conductor class: Class 5 per IEC 60228 on specification
- Sheath material: CR (polychloroprene) per EN 50363-1
- Certifications: CE mark, VDE mark, or UL listing as applicable
- Test reports: Request factory test certificates for dimensional, electrical, and mechanical tests
- Marking: Cable should be marked “H07RN-F” with manufacturer name, voltage rating, and standard year
- RoHS/REACH: Compliance with EU environmental regulations
Common Substitution Scenarios
- Replacing European brand with TEBAOFLEX: Direct equivalent, same standard, same certifications. Verify dimensions are compatible with existing cable glands.
- Replacing UL SOOW with H07RN-F: Possible for international projects, but verify local code acceptance. H07RN-F has 450/750V rating vs SOOW 600V.
- Replacing older national types (U1000 RN-F, BS 6195): These are now harmonized under EN 50525-2-21, making H07RN-F a direct replacement.
- Upgrading from PVC (H05VV-F) to rubber (H07RN-F): Common upgrade for better mechanical and environmental performance. Check gland sizes.
