This neoprene flat cable is constructed to the German VDE standard NGFLGOEU designation — a heavy-duty rubber (neoprene/chloroprene) insulated and sheathed flat portable cable rated for demanding industrial and outdoor use. The NGFLGOEU construction features EPDM or natural rubber core insulation and a chloroprene (neoprene) flat outer sheath providing excellent resistance to oils, ozone, weathering, and UV radiation — with performance significantly superior to standard PVC flat cables in harsh outdoor and oil-contaminated environments.
Rated 450/750V; Class 5 or Class 6 extra-flexible copper conductors; 2 to 5 cores; 1.0 mm² to 10 mm²; operating temperature ‑40°C to +80°C. Widely used for outdoor portable equipment, construction site tools, and agricultural machinery where a flat cable format is preferred.

Neoprene flat cables (NGFLGOEU) outperform standard PVC flat cables in oil resistance, UV stability, low-temperature flexibility (to ‑40°C vs ‑15°C for PVC), and mechanical abrasion resistance. Specify neoprene flat cable wherever the installation environment would cause a standard PVC flat cable to degrade prematurely.
