H05VVH6-F is a harmonised European designation for a PVC-insulated PVC-sheathed flat cable with special resistance to low temperatures, rated at 300/500V. The "H6" suffix denotes a flat parallel construction with PVC-filled channels between adjacent cores. The "F" suffix indicates flexible conductor class (Class 5). This cable is specifically compounded to remain flexible at low temperatures — down to ‑25°C — making it suitable for outdoor and cold-environment applications where standard PVC cables would stiffen and become difficult to manage.
Available in 2 and 3 cores, conductor cross-sections from 0.75 mm² to 1.5 mm², H05VVH6-F is widely used for small domestic appliances, extension cords, and portable equipment in regions with cold winter climates. Compliant with IEC 60227 and EN 50525-2-11.

H05VVH6-F (300/500V) is the lower voltage variant for light-duty domestic appliances and extension leads. H07VVH6-F (450/750V) is required for heavier industrial tools and equipment. Both share the same cold-resistant PVC compound for low-temperature flexibility.
