Power Cable bkl electronic 1513003-5 H05BQ-F 3G 1 mm² Orange 5 m

The bkl electronic 1513003-5 H05BQ-F 3G 1 mm² Orange 5 m is a flexible rubber-sheathed power cable intended for temporary and mobile power applications. With three cores and a 1 mm² conductor cross-section, the cable provides a compact solution for flexible connections on construction sites, outdoor events, portable equipment, and short-distance power distribution. The orange jacket improves visibility and the H05BQ-F compound gives oil- and weather-resistant properties suitable for outdoor or industrial environments where durability and flexibility are required.

Advantages

This power cable combines a flexible H05BQ-F rubber insulation with three conductors of 1 mm² cross-section, delivering good bendability and mechanical resilience for movable installations. The orange outer sheath increases on-site visibility and helps reduce tripping and damage risk. The cable is designed to resist oils and moderate weather exposure, making it suitable for temporary outdoor use and for applications where abrasion resistance and flexibility are important.

Suitable for

• Temporary power supply on construction sites and renovation projects
• Portable equipment such as generators, lights, and power tools
• Outdoor events and short-distance power distribution
• Applications requiring a flexible, oil-resistant rubber-sheathed cable

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for temporary and mobile power use and is not designed as a permanent fixed wiring solution in buildings where different standards and cable types are required. It is also not suitable where higher current capacity, larger conductor cross-sections, or specific flame-retardant or low-smoke characteristics are mandated by local regulations.

Key specifications

• Cable type: H05BQ-F rubber-sheathed flexible power cable
• Number of cores: 3 (3G)
• Conductor cross-section: 1 mm² per core
• Outer sheath colour: orange for high visibility
• Length: 5 m
• Suitable properties: oil-resistant, weather-resistant, flexible

How to use

Use the cable for temporary connections between power sources and portable devices, ensuring that plugs and connectors are compatible and in good condition. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges, excessive bending radii, and areas where it could be pinched or stepped on repeatedly. For outdoor use, keep connectors elevated and protected from direct water ingress. Inspect the cable regularly for cuts, abrasion, or insulation damage and disconnect power before performing any maintenance or repair.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 1 mm² conductor cross-section and the cable's current rating meet the power requirements of your equipment.
• Check whether a temporary flexible H05BQ-F cable is acceptable under local electrical regulations for your intended use.
• Consider whether a longer length, different core count, or larger conductor size is needed for permanent or higher-power installations.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, use this cable for short, temporary runs and portable devices. Avoid continuous heavy loads near the cable’s maximum current capability and replace the cable if the jacket or insulation shows signs of damage. Store coiled loosely and protect from prolonged UV exposure to preserve the rubber sheath.
