Construction power cable Schwabe Baustellen-Anschlussleitung H07BQ-F 5 m 2×1.5 mm² orange

Schwabe Baustellen-Anschlussleitung H07BQ-F 5 m 2×1.5 mm² orange is a flexible rubber-sheathed construction power cable intended for temporary power distribution on building sites and for portable electrical equipment. The cable features two conductors with a conductor cross-section of 1.5 mm² and a bright orange outer sheath for high visibility. The H07BQ-F designation denotes a harmonized rubber-insulated, oil-resistant cable suitable for use in demanding temporary installations and where mechanical resilience and flexibility are required.

Advantages

The rubber sheathing provides improved mechanical resistance and good flexibility at typical site temperatures, while the orange colour increases visibility to reduce tripping and accidental damage. The two-core 1.5 mm² configuration balances compact size with sufficient current-carrying capacity for many portable tools and lighting circuits. The construction is intended for temporary and mobile use, offering straightforward handling and easier routing on site than heavier fixed-installation cables.

Suitable for

• Temporary power supply for portable tools and lighting on construction sites
• Connection of site distribution boxes and portable machines
• Outdoor temporary installations where visible, flexible supply lines are needed
• Trade and maintenance work requiring short, robust extension leads

Key specifications

• Cable type: H07BQ-F (rubber-insulated, flexible)
• Length: 5 m
• Number of cores: 2 conductors
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per conductor
• Outer sheath colour: orange (high visibility)
• Characteristics: flexible, oil-resistant, mechanically resistant

How to use

Use the Schwabe H07BQ-F cable to connect portable electrical equipment and temporary distribution devices to a power source. Inspect the cable and connectors for visible damage before each use and ensure connections are made to compatible, protected outlets or distribution boxes with appropriate overcurrent and residual-current protection. Lay the cable to avoid sharp edges, heavy traffic areas, and sources of heat. Uncoil the cable fully where possible to avoid localized heating during higher load conditions.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, avoid permanent buried or fixed installation; this cable is intended for temporary and portable use. Store the cable dry and protected from prolonged UV exposure when not in use, and replace it if the sheath shows cuts, deep abrasions, or exposed conductors. Verify that the 1.5 mm² conductor cross-section and two-core configuration meet the current and earthing requirements of the connected equipment and the site’s electrical protection scheme.
