Application fit

Is H05VV5-F right for your machine?

Unlike standard YY/H05VV-F cables whose ordinary PVC sheath swells and cracks when exposed to cutting emulsions, H05VV5-F is formulated with an EN 50363-4-1 Type TM5 (`V5`) oil-resistant outer jacket tested to EN 60811-404 for CNC machine tools, hydraulic presses and automotive transfer lines.

Fixed installation

Suitable

CNC machining centres, transfer lines, hydraulic power packs and wet-sump industrial equipment.

Trailing & towing

With conditions

Suitable for occasional flexing without tensile stress in oily machine environments.

Use JZ-500-PUR

VFD inverter to AC motor screened feeder

Not suitable

Unscreened control cable; for EMC-shielded oil-resistant circuits, select harmonised H05VVC4V5-K.

Use H05VVC4V5-K

Energy chain / drag chain

Not suitable

Not designed for high-cycle drag chains; select TMPU polyurethane JZ-500-PUR for dynamic abrasion.

Use JZ-500-PUR

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

What does the 'V5' in H05VV5-F mean compared with H05VV-F or YY?
In CENELEC EN 50525-1 code, the first 'V' is TI2 PVC core insulation and 'V5' is a special EN 50363-4-1 Type TM5 oil-resistant PVC outer sheath tested to EN 60811-404. Standard H05VV-F and basic YY cables use ordinary TM2 PVC sheaths that harden and crack when exposed to CNC cutting oils and hydraulic fluids.
Why is H05VV5-F preferred by European machine-tool OEMs?
Because H05VV5-F carries formal CENELEC `<HAR>` harmonisation under EN 50525-2-51 (DIN VDE 0285-525-2-51), it is accepted without national re-testing across all European Union and EFTA member states for machine tool wiring under EN 60204-1.
When should I choose H05VVC4V5-K instead of H05VV5-F?
Select H05VVC4V5-K when your oil-resistant control circuit also requires an overall tinned-copper braid screen ('C4') for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) near servo drives and frequency inverters.
What if the cable is also exposed to sharp metal swarf or floor abrasion?
If the cable is dragged across workshop floors or hit by hot metal chips, upgrade to polyurethane-sheathed JZ-500-PUR (300/500 V) or JZ-600 PUR (0.6/1 kV).
