Power cable bkl electronic H07BQ-F 3G1.5 mm² orange, 10 m (1513005-10)

bkl electronic power cable H07BQ-F with three conductors of 1.5 mm² cross-section and bright orange rubber insulation, 10 m length, is a flexible and oil-resistant mains cable designed for temporary power distribution and portable equipment. The H07BQ-F construction provides mechanical robustness and weather resistance suitable for construction sites, outdoor events and other situations where a durable rubber-sheathed supply cable is required.

Advantages

This 10 m H07BQ-F cable offers flexible handling and increased mechanical strength compared with standard PVC-sheathed leads, while the oil-resistant rubber jacket helps protect the conductors in harsh environments. The three-core design with protective earth supports safe connection of portable appliances and extension use. The orange colour improves visibility on site, helping to reduce tripping hazards and making the cable easier to locate among other equipment.

Suitable for

• Temporary power supply on construction sites and renovation projects
• Portable power for generators, compressors and hand tools
• Outdoor events, stages and temporary installations
• Extension leads for workshops and industrial maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for temporary and portable applications where H07BQ-F characteristics are required. It is not specified for permanent fixed installation within building walls or concealed wiring. For applications requiring larger conductor cross-sections, higher current ratings, or specific approvals for permanent mains installation, choose a cable that matches those electrical and regulatory requirements.

Key specifications

• Cable type: rubber-sheathed flexible power cable (H07BQ-F)
• Number of conductors: 3 (including protective earth)
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per conductor
• Insulation/jacket: oil-resistant rubber, orange colour
• Length: 10 m
• Typical use: temporary power and portable equipment

How to use

Unroll the cable fully before use to avoid heat buildup and ensure proper cooling during current flow. Use appropriate plugs and sockets rated for the intended current and environment; ensure connections are made with compatible, certified connectors and that protective earth is connected. Position the cable to minimise trip hazards and mechanical damage; where the cable crosses walkways or vehicle paths use protective covers. Inspect the jacket and conductors regularly for cuts, abrasion or oil damage and replace the cable if the rubber sheath is compromised.

What to consider before purchase

• Required current rating for your equipment and whether 1.5 mm² conductors are sufficient
• Intended use: temporary/portable versus permanent installation
• Environmental exposure: oil, UV, mechanical wear and outdoor use
• Compatibility with plugs, sockets and required safety approvals for your location

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, match the cable length and conductor size to the load to limit voltage drop, avoid continuous loading near the cable's maximum rating, and store the cable coiled but not tightly knotted. Replace the cable if you observe damage to the rubber sheath or conductors, and consult local electrical regulations when using the cable in public or permanent installations.
