Our products have been certified by independent testing institutes including those indicated next:

Applications

VV
Standard version for normal strain. Sheath and single conductor insulation are each made of PVC. Appropriate for indoor use.
RR
Sheath and single conductor insulation are each made of flexible natural rubber or composition rubber. Appropriate for indoor use and for a short time outdoor use.
RN
Oil-resistant. Single conductor insulation is made of flexible natural rubber or composition rubber. The sheath is made of neoprene rubber. Appropriate for permanent outdoor and agricultural use.
N07
MM- Resistant against acids, oil and brittleness, 100% weather resistance, abrasion proof. Stays flexible in temperature range from -35C to +80C. Especially appropriate for industry and construction site. (Necessary to check if a certificate of approval is required for your country)
BQ
Oil-resistant and highly abrasion-proof. Cable qualifies for the most extreme mechanical load, in orange safety colour. Particularly good for industry and construction site, in dry, damp and wet locations, in industrial water, in agricultural and fire endangered operating sites according to VDE 0295.
