FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

Why do both 2×1.5 mm² and 2×2.5 mm² H05RNH2-F share the exact same 13.0 × 5.0 mm outer dimensions?
EN 50525-2-82 mandates an identical 13.0 × 5.0 mm flat rectangular profile and core spacing for both 2×1.5 mm² and 2×2.5 mm² so that standard E27 and B22 pin-piercing festoon lampholders fit either cross-section without changing sockets or gaskets. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
How do insulation-displacement lampholders work on H05RNH2-F?
When the festoon lampholder cap is screwed or clamped onto the flat H05RNH2-F cable, two sharp brass contact pins pierce through the resilient EM2 polychloroprene sheath and EI4 EPR insulation to contact the Class 5 copper cores while the rubber seals around the pins.
When should 2×2.5 mm² be selected over 2×1.5 mm²?
Select 2×2.5 mm² for long construction-tunnel lighting spans, high-wattage site worklights, or long outdoor event strings where lower conductor resistance (7.98 Ω/km vs 13.3 Ω/km) reduces end-of-line voltage drop. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
Can H05RNH2-F be left outdoors year-round?
Yes, the cross-linked EI4 EPR insulation and EM2 polychloroprene outer sheath resist UV sunlight, ozone, rain, frost down to -25 °C (mobile) / -40 °C (fixed), and oil splash. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
