Trailing & towing
Portable power tools, site lighting, workshop floor leads and mobile instrumentation exposed to sharp swarf and oils.
Product
High-visibility 300/500 V flexible cable combining +90 °C cross-linked EI7 EPR rubber core insulation with a cut-, notch-, oil- and microbe-resistant TMPU polyurethane outer sheath per EN 50525-2-21 for harsh workshop, construction and cold-climate tools.
Typical values for this cable type, based on EN 50525-2-21 (HD 22.10) — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
H05BQ-F combines +90 °C cross-linked rubber core dielectric stability with extreme TMPU polyurethane jacket toughness down to −40 °C; for sizes ≥ 1.5 mm² at 450/750 V, select H07BQ-F.
Portable power tools, site lighting, workshop floor leads and mobile instrumentation exposed to sharp swarf and oils.
Light guided movement supported; for continuous high-cycle drag chains, use dedicated chain cable.
Ask engineeringMachine tool chassis wiring, agricultural equipment and cold-storage installations down to −50 °C.
Unreinforced 300/500 V cord; for spring or motorised reels, use reinforced S07BQ-F.
