H07 series rubber round cables – heavy‑duty flexible cords compliant with EN 50525‑2‑21 / HD 22.4. Choose from standard (H07RN‑F), oil‑resistant (H07BN4‑F), high‑temperature (H07RN8‑F), and special custom versions (S07RC4N8‑F / S1RC4N8‑F). Rated 450/750V, with EPR/silicone insulation and tough rubber jackets – ideal for industrial power, control, and portable equipment in harsh environments.

Product Overview

The H07 series comprises a range of heavy‑duty, round flexible rubber cables designed and manufactured to meet European harmonised standards EN 50525‑2‑21 and HD 22.4. These cables are widely used in industrial power supply, control circuits, and portable equipment where robustness, flexibility, and reliability are essential.

The family includes the following core models, each tailored to specific operating conditions:

ModelKey FeatureTypical Application
H07RN‑FStandard heavy‑duty, weather‑resistantIndustrial machinery, construction sites, temporary power
H07BN4‑FOil‑resistant jacket (special compound)Workshops, hydraulic systems, oily environments
H07RN8‑FHigh‑temperature resistant (silicone insulation)Hot zones, foundries, steel mills, furnaces
S07RC4N8‑FCustom special (e.g. enhanced cold‑resistance)Extreme cold or custom specifications
S1RC4N8‑FCustom special (e.g. extra flexible or flame‑retardant)Specialised equipment, offshore, or mining

All models share a common construction philosophy – stranded copper conductors, rubber insulation, and a robust outer sheath – but differ in material selection to meet specific thermal, chemical, or mechanical demands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What do the different model letters mean?

A:

  • H07RN‑F – Standard heavy‑duty cord (EPR insulation, chloroprene sheath).

  • H07BN4‑F – Oil‑resistant version (special compound sheath).

  • H07RN8‑F – High‑temperature version (silicone insulation).

  • S07RC4N8‑F / S1RC4N8‑F – Custom special versions tailored to specific requirements (e.g., extreme cold, extra flexibility, or enhanced flame resistance).

Q2: What is the voltage rating for these cables?

A: All standard models are rated 450/750V, suitable for most industrial power and control circuits.

Q3: Which model should I choose for an oily environment?

A: Choose H07BN4‑F – it is specifically designed with a highly oil‑resistant sheath.
