Installation cable AS Schwabe H07BQ-F 3 x 1.5 mm² orange 50 m

AS Schwabe H07BQ-F 3 x 1.5 mm² installation cable on a 50 m reel. This orange, rubber-insulated cable has three flexible conductors with a cross-sectional area of 1.5 mm² each and is designed for both fixed and flexible installations in light industrial, workshop and domestic environments. The rubber sheath provides mechanical strength and increased resistance to oil and weathering compared with standard PVC cables, making it appropriate for applications where exposure to oils, grease or occasional outdoor conditions is expected.

Advantages

The cable combines flexibility and mechanical durability to allow easy routing around equipment and through conduits while maintaining stable electrical performance. Its rubber insulation ensures enhanced resistance to abrasion, oil and moderate weathering, extending service life in harsher conditions. The bright orange outer sheath improves visibility for safer routing and reduces the risk of accidental damage during work. The 50 m long reel provides enough length for many common installations without frequent joins.

Suitable for

• Temporary or permanent power supply to portable tools and workshop equipment
• Connection of lighting and small appliances in garages, sheds and production areas
• Indoor and occasional outdoor use where oil resistance and flexibility are required
• Flexible machine connections and extension leads in light industrial environments

Key specifications

• Conductor count: 3 cores
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per core
• Insulation material: rubber (H07BQ-F type)
• Outer sheath colour: orange
• Length: 50 m
• Suitable for fixed and flexible installation

How to use

Cut the required length from the reel using appropriate cable cutters, ensuring clean ends. Strip the outer sheath and individual conductors to the required length for termination, following the equipment manufacturer’s instructions and local electrical regulations. Use suitable lugs, terminals or connectors rated for 1.5 mm² conductors and ensure secure, low-resistance connections. When routing, avoid sharp edges and high-temperature surfaces; provide mechanical protection where the cable may be exposed to abrasion or crushing.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the cable periodically for signs of mechanical damage, cracking or oil degradation. Do not use the cable where continuous immersion or permanent exposure to high heat is expected. For outdoor or permanent exposed installations consider additional UV protection or conduit. Follow local electrical codes for conductor protection, earthing and maximum current ratings when assembling connections.
