Flexible cables, also known as flexible cords, trailing cables, or flexible leads, are essential components in electrical installations requiring mobility and resistance to repeated bending. These cables are designed with finely stranded copper conductors, typically Class 5 or Class 6 according to IEC 60228, which provide high flexibility without compromising current-carrying capacity. Common voltage ratings include 300/500V, 450/750V, and 0.6/1kV, with insulation materials such as PVC, rubber (EPR), or halogen-free compounds (LSZH). The number of cores ranges from 2 to 5 or more, with cross-sections from 0.5 mm² up to 240 mm². Flexible cables are often used in control panels, machine tools, and portable equipment, featuring a braided or tinned copper screen for EMI protection in some variants.
Flexible cables are deployed across a wide range of industrial sectors, including manufacturing, automation, robotics, and renewable energy. In factory automation, they connect servo drives, sensors, and actuators to control cabinets, where constant movement and vibration are present. In the construction sector, they serve as power supply cords for portable tools and temporary lighting. In the renewable energy industry, flexible cables are used in solar tracker systems and wind turbine nacelles, where torsional and bending stresses are high. They are also critical in material handling systems, such as conveyor belts and cranes, and in the automotive industry for assembly line robots.
Key subcategories within flexible cables include H05VV-F (PVC insulated, 300/500V), H07RN-F (rubber insulated, 450/750V), and ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 100 series for industrial applications. Common article codes follow patterns like H05VV-F 3G1.5, where '3G' indicates 3 cores with ground, and '1.5' is the cross-section in mm². Other variants include shielded flexible cables (e.g., H05VV-F 4G0.75 with braid) and high-temperature versions like H05SJ-F (silicone insulation). For heavy-duty use, H07RN-F 5G6 is typical for mobile power distribution. These cables are available in cut lengths or on drums, with color-coded cores per IEC 60446.
