FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) ON RUBBER CABLES

---

What is a rubber cable?

A rubber cable is an electrical cable that is insulated with rubber, which provides flexibility, durability, and resistance to various environmental factors. They are suitable for use outdoors and in challenging environments. Sometimes these cables are called neoprene insulated cables or polychloroprene cables.

---

What do you call the rubber around the cables?

The rubber that covers the cables is typically referred to as “insulation”. This insulation protects the conductive wires inside from environmental factors, prevent electrical shocks, and ensure safe operation.

What does H07RN-F mean on a power cable?

Each cable has a standardised designation. The letters and numbers refer to the cable outer sheath, other outer sheath, the conductor class, the rated voltage and the final composition of the cable. In the case of H07RN-F, the letters stand for:

• H: conforms to a harmonised standard.
• 07: rated voltage 450/750V.
• R: EPR insulation.
• N: polychloroprene (PCP) sheath.
• -F: flexible conductor (class 5).

Here you can find more information on the designation of electrical cables.

What is the difference between the standard H07RN-F cable and the XTREM^® H07RN-F cable manufactured by Top Cable?

Top Cable’s XTREM^® H07RN-F cable has been manufactured using improved polymers with respect to the specifications of the EN 50525-2-21 / IEC 60092-353 / IEC 60245 standard, thus presenting a higher temperature and voltage rating than those indicated in the standard:

• Maximum conductor temperature: 90°C. >>(the standard indicates 60°C).
• Maximum short-circuit temperature: 250°C, for a maximum of 5 seconds. >> (the standard indicates 200°C).
• Minimum service temperature: -40°C static with protection >> (standard indicates -25ºC).
• Presence of water: AD8 (submerged) >> (the standard indicates AD6, temporary).

---

What are the main characteristics of a rubber H07RN-F cable?

The XTREM^® H07RN-F cable has extreme flexibility and excellent resistance to extreme temperatures, abrasion and impact and can be installed permanently submerged in water (AD8).

---

Are rubber cables better than PVC cables?

Rubber insulation is known for its ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions and its resistance to ageing and abrasion. Therefore, rubber cables (type H07RN-F) have an outstanding flexibility and resistance to extreme temperatures, superior to cables with XLPE insulation (type RV-K).

Over time, the sheath of a rubber cable behaves better to the effect of solar radiation and cold-hot-cold climatic variations, avoiding the presence of cracks on its surface, which may deepen with the passage of time. Cracking of the sheath may cause the conductors to become exposed to the air and degrade, leaving the copper of the conductor exposed, with the possibility of direct or indirect contact and the consequent risk of electrocution for a person. If the cable has to be subjected to bending and twisting movements, the effect of the cracks or cracking of the sheath increases, reaching the insulation of the conductors and, if the insulation of the conductors has given way, also causing a short-circuit due to the contact of the two conductors. Due to its characteristics, a rubber cable does not present this problem.
