The H05BQ-F 2x0.75 cable from böhm Kabel is a flexible PUR device connection cable designed for use outdoors as well as in dry and wet indoor environments. It is particularly suitable for electric hand tools such as drills, grinders, and other power tools subjected to high mechanical stress. The cable is also used in the steel industry, automotive and mining industries, and in the chemical industry, where it is exposed to mineral oils and is pulled over sharp edges, rough floors, or metal shavings. The orange colour of the sheath enhances optical visibility in the operating environment.

Applications

The cable is designed for applications involving high mechanical stress, such as frequent bending, pulling, or abrasion. It is suitable for mobile devices and machines operated in industrial environments, particularly in areas with increased wear risk. The operating conditions also include outdoor use and rooms with humid or wet environments, where the cable remains stable even under short-term water exposure.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The cable consists of bare, fine-stranded copper conductors according to VDE 0295 Class 5, designed for high flexibility and durability under frequent bending. The conductors are insulated with a rubber compound and marked according to VDE 0293-308. The conductors are stranded in layers, ensuring even distribution of mechanical stress. The outer sheath is made of PUR (polyurethane), known for its high abrasion resistance, cut resistance, and resistance to mineral oils and microbes. The sheath colour is orange, providing good visibility in the operating environment.

Technology Explained Simply

The rated voltage is 300/500 V, sufficient for industrial use and power tools. The test voltage of 2000 V ensures electrical insulation under high voltage stress. The cable can withstand temperatures from -40 °C to +80 °C during mobile use, making it suitable for applications in colder regions or under short-term heat exposure. The minimum bending radius is 12.5 times the cable diameter, enabling flexible handling even under frequent bending. The burning behaviour is classified as flame retardant, enhancing safety during operation.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is designed for use with electric hand tools and industrial machines requiring a flexible, robust, and oil-resistant connection. It is compatible with connectors and socket outlets rated for 300/500 V. The marking according to VDE 0293-308 allows for clear identification of the conductors.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by connecting to suitable connectors or socket outlets. The flexible structure of the cable allows for easy installation, even over uneven or sharp-edged surfaces. The cable should be routed in such a way that the bending radius is not exceeded to ensure the cable’s service life. The cable is suitable for use in moving installations, with mechanical stress during operation taken into account.

Operational Advantages

The cable is characterised by high mechanical strength, particularly its cut resistance and abrasion resistance. Its resistance to mineral oils and microbes makes it suitable for industrial environments where chemical or biological influences occur. Cold resistance enables use even at low temperatures. The flame-retardant properties enhance operational safety. The orange colour of the sheath improves visibility and simplifies identification in the operating environment.
