Flexible Rubber Cable H07RN-F for Industrial Use in the UK
H07RN-F - Heavy Duty Rubber Sheathed Cable
H07RN-F flexible rubber cables are designed for demanding industrial and outdoor applications. They are suitable for use with generators, transformers, pumps, welders, grinders, compressors, portable machinery, and electrical tools. Also suitable for drainage and water treatment systems, cold storage environments, construction sites, and severe industrial settings.
The cable has a standard voltage rating of 450/750V. It can also be used at 0.6/1KV when the installation has proper overcurrent protection in place.

Where Is H07RN-F Rubber Cable Used?
H07RN-F is a heavy-duty flexible rubber cable designed for industrial, outdoor, and portable power applications. It is built with a tough CPE rubber outer sheath and annealed stranded copper conductors, making it highly resistant to oil, water, UV, abrasion, and extreme temperatures. This makes it one of the most reliable and widely specified flexible cables across UK industries.
Here is where H07RN-F rubber cable is commonly used:
Construction Site
Temporary power supply, site lighting, power tool feeds, and generator connections where cables are frequently moved and exposed to outdoor conditions.
Events & Entertainment
Stage power, outdoor concerts, festivals, and temporary structures where flexible, water-resistant cable is essential
Manufacturing & Factories
Machine tool connections, conveyor systems, and production line equipment requiring durable, oil-resistant flexible cable
Marine & Ports
Used in port machinery, boat yards, and offshore installations where strong resistance to water and physical wear is essential for safe and reliable operation.
Agriculture
Pumps, irrigation systems, and outdoor farm equipment operating in wet and muddy conditions.
Welding & Heavy Plant
Built for welders, grinders, and heavy industrial equipment where cables face constant movement and physical stress on the job.
H07RN-F Rubber Cable Features:
- Flexible & Heavy-Duty: Class 5 stranded copper construction provides excellent flexibility, making it well-suited for portable tools, machinery, and equipment used in frequently changing work locations.
- Weather, UV & Water Resistant: Engineered to perform in outdoor and wet conditions, offering reliable resistance to rain, direct sunlight, and water immersion up to 25 metres depth.
- Oil & Chemical Resistant: Designed with a CPE rubber outer sheath, this cable stands up to oils, solvents, and industrial chemicals, delivering consistent performance in even the harshest on-site working conditions.
- Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -25°C to +60°C, suitable for cold storage facilities, outdoor sites, and high-heat industrial settings.
- VDE & BS 6195 Certified: Fully tested and certified to UK and European standards, ensuring safe and compliant installation across all applications.
H07RN-F Rubber Cable Features:
– Maximum conductor operating temperature: +90°C
– Maximum conductor temperature during short circuit: +250°C
– Lowest ambient temperature for fixed installation: -40°C
– Lowest ambient temperature for mobile installation: -25°C
– UV, sunlight, water, oil, abrasion-resistant
– (-25) meter submersible underwater
– Max continuous operating conductor temperature in normal use:
+60°C ( in every case of mobile installation )
+90°C ( fixed protected installation )
H07RN-F Rubber Cable vs Other Cable Types
Choosing the right cable type for your application matters. Here is how H07RN-F compares to common alternatives:
- H07RN-F vs PVC Cable: PVC cables are suitable for indoor, dry, and fixed installations. H07RN-F is the better choice for outdoor, wet, high-flex, and heavy-duty environments where PVC would crack or degrade.
- H07RN-F vs H05RN-F: H05RN-F is rated at 300/500V and suited for lighter-duty portable tools and domestic equipment. H07RN-F is rated at 450/750V and designed for heavier industrial and outdoor applications.
- H07RN-F vs Arctic Cable: Arctic cable is optimised for extreme cold (down to -40°C). H07RN-F handles cold environments well (to -25°C) but is the preferred choice where oil, chemical, and abrasion resistance are equally important alongside cold performance.
