What is 60227 IEC 71f cable?
60227 IEC 71f: flat PVC lift cable and cable for flexible connections, 300/500 V up to 1 mm2, 450/750 V above. Rating: 300/500 V up to 1 mm2, 450/750 V above; 3 to 24 cores (0.75 and 1 mm2: 3 to 24; 1.5 and 2.5 mm2: 3 to 12; 4 to 25 mm2: 4 or 5), laid flat; class 5; PVC/D insulation, PVC/ST5 sheath; 70 C (IEC 60227-6 cl. 3, Tables 1 and 4). Standard: IEC 60227-6 (clause 3).
IEC 60227-6 (standard, scope and constructions read): flat lift cable and cable for flexible connections; 300/500 V up to 1 mm2 and 450/750 V above; 3 to 24 conductors (0.75 and 1 mm2: 3 to 24; 1.5 and 2.5: 3 to 12; 4 to 25 mm2: 4 or 5); class 5; PVC/D insulation, PVC/ST5 sheath; 70 C. The dimensions of Table 4 are not transcribed. The 'f' (flat) is part of the code; the drawing is round (the type tables draw no flat lay). IEC 60227-6 has no core clause of its own; its scope (cl. 1, p. 9) sends every cable to IEC 60227-1. Core colours (IEC 60227-1:2007 4.1.2, p. 9): one and two cores no preferred scheme; three cores green-and-yellow, blue, brown or brown, black, grey; four cores green-and-yellow, brown, black, grey or blue, brown, black, grey; five cores green-and-yellow, blue, brown, black, grey or blue, brown, black, grey, black; above five cores by number (4.1.1, 4.2). Drawn with the green-and-yellow set when the size says so (3G1.5), otherwise the set without it; two cores are drawn brown and blue (the HD 308 pair, as the standard prefers none); above five cores black numbered cores, the green-and-yellow core last. Code designation (IEC 60227-1:2007 Annex A, p. 20): the first numeral is the basic class (0 non-sheathed for fixed wiring, 1 sheathed for fixed wiring, 4 non-sheathed light duty flexible, 5 sheathed normal duty flexible, 7 sheathed special duty flexible), the second the type within the class, so the number is read whole. The old spelling drops the 60 ('227 IEC 53' = '60227 IEC 53', IEC renumbering); Helukabel's table prints 227 / 245, EN-JV and Top Cable 60227.

IEC 60227 / IEC 60245 type numbers: how to read the cable type names
Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (60227 IEC 71f).
Typically targeted, as declared by makers for this kind of construction in the examples this site checked (not the class of this cable):
EcaN1XV-R, Ahlsell (seller)Cca-s3,d1,a3FG16OR16, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)EcaU1000 R2V, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)EcaN2XSY, Waskönig+Walter (10 kV datasheet)
Listed as sources, alphabetically by maker. No maker pays to appear here.
A CPR class is declared by the maker in its Declaration of Performance and printed on the sheath (EN 50575 cl 7). This decoder does not assign one. What the CPR classes mean →
Sources: EN 13501-6 draft and FprEN 50575:2014 final draft (drafts, not the published texts); IEC 60332-3-24:2000+A1:2008; EN 13501-3 draft A2.
60227 IEC 71f: equivalents in other countries
Shown for 12x1 300/500 V. Each country's rules are applied to this build, keeping the conductor, section, cores, voltage, screen, armour and sheath.
| Country | Standard | Name in that country | Verdict | Differences |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | EN 50214 | H05VVH6-F 12G1 300/500 V | Equivalent | Sheath 0.9 → 0.8 mm; Overall diameter 34.72 → 33.12 mm |
Nominal values computed by each standard's rules, not manufacturer data. This is not a statement that two cables are interchangeable: the buyer's specification and the maker's type test decide.
60227 IEC 71f as the cable designer builds it, 12x1 300/500 V
Flat, 34.7 × 4.3 mm (width × thickness), about 300 kg/km. Nominal values from the standard's tables for this size, computed, not a maker's data.
| Layer | Material | Thickness, mm | Over the layer, mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulation | PVC | 0.60 | 2.5 |
| Filler | PVC | 2.5 | |
| Sheath | PVC | 0.90 | 4.3 |
60227 IEC 71f on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 34.7 mm and about 300 kg/km as the cable designer builds it. Drums as their makers print them; lengths are estimates: whole layers wound nested (each turn in the groove of the layer below), wound diameter 1.05 × OD, 50 mm freeboard under the flange rim. Cable makers' own tables print less, as they count aligned layers.
| Length | Drum size (its makers) | Layers | Gross weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 m | KTG 16 (1600 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 7 of 10 | 426–459 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 20 (2000 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 8 of 10 | 779–900 kg |
Barrel at least 12 × OD = 417 mm for a cable of this kind (Flexible cable (class 5 or 6 conductor)): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
