RVMV cable

Definition: RVMV (Rigid Varmetallkabel mit Vlies) is a rigid metal armored cable, usually used for fixed laying indoors or outdoors.

Structure:

Conductor: Copper conductor (in accordance with EN 60228 standard) with high conductivity.

Insulation: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation layer, providing good electrical insulation performance.

Armor: Galvanized steel tape or steel wire armor for enhanced mechanical protection.

Sheath: PVC outer sheath, which is resistant to abrasion, UV and chemical corrosion.

VVMV Cable

Definition: VVMV (Varnished Cambric and PVC Sheathed Armoured Cable) is an armored cable with varnished cloth and PVC sheath, suitable for more severe environmental conditions.

Structure:

Conductor: Also copper conductor.

Insulation: Varnished cloth wrapping plus PVC insulation provides additional thermal stability and mechanical strength.

Armour: Similar to RVMV, galvanised steel belt or steel wire armor is used.

Sheath: PVC outer sheath, which enhances resistance to environmental factors.

RVMV-K Cable

Definition: RVMV-K is a flexible version of RVMV. K stands for “Klein” (small), which means it is more flexible and suitable for occasions that require frequent movement or bending.

Features: In addition to maintaining the original electrical and mechanical properties, RVMV-K achieves higher flexibility by optimizing the internal structure, which is convenient for installation in narrow spaces.

VVMV-K Cable

Definition: VVMV-K is a flexible version of VVMV, also designed to adapt to applications that require higher flexibility.

Features: Compared with VVMV, VVMV-K improves its flexibility while retaining its original protection performance, suitable for applications that require both good mechanical protection and a certain degree of flexibility.

Application Scenarios

Fixed installation: such as power distribution networks within factories, power connections for large mechanical equipment, etc.

Mobile applications: For RVMV-K and VVMV-K, they are more suitable for situations where the position needs to be adjusted frequently or arranged in limited space, such as robot arms on automated production lines, movable workstations, etc.

Standards and Certifications

These cable types usually follow European standards (such as the EN 50525 series) and other international standards, and may obtain CE marks or other relevant certifications to ensure that they meet safety and technical specifications.

Precautions

When choosing a specific model, please decide whether additional protection measures (such as oil resistance, fire resistance, low temperature resistance, etc.) are required according to the requirements of the actual working environment.

Before installation, be sure to check the latest manufacturer data sheets and technical documentation to understand the latest features and installation guidelines of the product.

If you have specific application requirements or want more details, it is recommended to consult the cable supplier or manufacturer directly, who can provide the most accurate product information and technical support. In addition, considering that different countries and regions may have different standards and regulations, you should also ensure compliance with local regulations when purchasing and using such cables.
