Technical Specifications

A good understanding of the Feichun OZOFLEX S05RN-F 300/500V technical specifications is essential to ensure it’s used correctly and safely. Below is an overview of its core characteristics:

Conductor Characteristics:

The Feichun OZOFLEX S05RN-F features bare copper conductors, which are finely stranded (Class 5), providing exceptional flexibility. The conductor construction ensures the cable can be repeatedly bent without compromising performance, making it suitable for light-duty applications where cables are frequently moved or adjusted.

Insulation and Sheathing:

The cable uses EPR rubber core insulation (according to EN 50363), which offers strong electrical insulation properties and helps protect the conductor from external elements. The outer sheath, made of robust rubber, ensures that the cable is well-protected against abrasions, mechanical stress, and some environmental factors, such as UV exposure and mild oil.

Electrical Ratings:

The 300/500V voltage rating means this cable is perfect for low-voltage applications in residential and light commercial setups. The cable has a test voltage of 2 kV, providing added confidence in its safety and performance when subjected to electrical testing.

Temperature Ratings:

The Feichun OZOFLEX S05RN-F cable is rated for laying temperatures as low as +5°C (this is the minimum temperature at which the cable can be laid without causing damage). For fixed installations, it can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +60°C, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications.

Environmental Properties:

The cable’s outdoor installation capability makes it ideal for use in locations exposed to the elements, though it is crucial to note that this cable is not suitable for permanent submersion in water.

While it is resistant to UV rays and offers some oil resistance, extreme environmental conditions like continuous direct sunlight or severe weather can shorten its lifespan. It’s important to avoid harsh weather exposure to maximize the cable's durability.

Standards and Compliance

Adhering to key standards is vital for ensuring the safety, performance, and longevity of cables. The Feichun OZOFLEX S05RN-F 300/500V meets the following standards:

These certifications ensure that the Feichun OZOFLEX S05RN-F 300/500V is built to meet high safety standards and is compliant with international regulations.

Common Challenges and Solutions in Practical Use

While the Feichun OZOFLEX S05RN-F 300/500V cable is designed for light-duty applications, it's important to be aware of potential issues during installation and use.

Kinking and Damage from Tight Bends:

Solution: Always handle the cable with care to avoid sharp bends or twists. Adhere to the recommended minimum bending radius outlined in DIN VDE 0298-4 to prevent conductor damage and loss of flexibility.

Outdoor Degradation from Weather and UV Exposure:

Solution: Although the cable is UV resistant, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Install the cable in shaded areas or use protective coverings to extend its lifespan.

Incorrect Application and Overloading:

Solution: Ensure the Feichun OZOFLEX S05RN-F cable is used within its electrical ratings. Exceeding the voltage or current limits can cause overheating and potential damage.

Always consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for correct sizing based on the equipment's load.

Oil and Chemical Exposure Beyond Specifications:

Solution: The cable’s oil resistance is designed for light exposure (compliant with IEC/EN 60811-404). For environments with high chemical exposure, choose a cable designed for greater resistance or consult compatibility data to ensure the cable will not degrade.

Laying at Low Temperatures (Crucial Point):

Solution: The minimum laying temperature is +5°C. Do not attempt to install the cable in temperatures lower than this, as it may cause the rubber sheath and insulation to crack, compromising the cable's integrity.

Installation and Safety Recommendations

Proper installation is essential for maximizing the performance and lifespan of the Feichun OZOFLEX S05RN-F 300/500V cable. Here are some safety tips:

Proper Cable Sizing:

Ensure that the selected cable size matches the connected device’s current requirements. Using undersized cables can lead to overheating, while oversized cables can be unnecessarily bulky and difficult to manage.

Secure Connections:

Use appropriate connectors and ensure tight, secure connections to prevent loose connections, which can lead to overheating or electrical faults. Always verify that connections are properly insulated to avoid short circuits.

Regular Inspections:

Regularly inspect cables for signs of wear, cuts, abrasions, or other damage. Damaged cables should be replaced immediately to ensure continued safety and performance.

Avoid Submersion:

As stated earlier, Feichun OZOFLEX S05RN-F 300/500V is not designed for permanent submersion in water. It is important to ensure that the cable is routed in dry, secure environments.

Conclusion

The Feichun OZOFLEX S05RN-F 300/500V flexible rubber cable offers significant advantages in terms of flexibility, durability, and ease of use for light-duty applications. Whether you are connecting portable appliances in homes, offices, or workshops, this cable provides reliable performance, even in outdoor environments.

Its flexibility, abrasion resistance, and UV protection ensure that it can handle a variety of tasks without compromising safety. However, users must remember to adhere to the minimum laying temperature of +5°C, and avoid submerging the cable in water or exposing it to excessive mechanical stress beyond its specifications.

By understanding its key features, technical specifications, and proper installation guidelines, you can ensure that the Feichun OZOFLEX S05RN-F 300/500V cable will meet your needs and deliver long-lasting performance.
