What is 60245 IEC 58f cable?
60245 IEC 58f: polychloroprene sheathed cable for decorative chains, flat, two cores, 300/500 V. Rating: 300/500 V; 2 cores laid parallel, class 5, 1.5 mm2; IE4 rubber insulation 0.8 mm, SE4 sheath 0.8 mm filling the spaces; centres of the conductors 6.7 to 7.0 mm apart; mean overall dimensions 5.0 x 13.0 to 6.0 x 14.0 mm; 60 C (IEC 60245-4 cl. 6, Table 7). Standard: IEC 60245-4 (clause 6).
IEC 60245-4 (standard): 300/500 V; two class 5 conductors, plain or tinned; IE4 rubber insulation 0.8 mm; the two cores laid in parallel, their centres 6.7 to 7.0 mm apart (6.3.4); SE4 sheath 0.8 mm filling the spaces, preferred colours green and black (6.3.5); Table 7: 2 x 1.5 mm2, mean overall dimensions 5.0 x 13.0 to 6.0 x 14.0 mm; for decorative chains indoors and outdoors, 60 C (6.5). The 'f' (flat) is part of the code; the drawing is round (the type tables draw no flat lay). Core colours (IEC 60245-1:2003+A1:2007 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 colour (green-and-yellow and blue in the outer layer) or by number (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 60245-1:2003+A1:2007 Annex A, p. 21 to 22): the first numeral is the basic class (0 non-sheathed for fixed wiring, 5 normal duty flexible, 6 heavy duty flexible, 7 special duty, 8 special application), 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. China: GB/T 5013.4-2008 is an identical adoption (IDT) of IEC 60245-4:2004 (SAMR record, checked 2026-11-09; the portal serves no text of it), so its values are this edition's.

IEC 60227 / IEC 60245 type numbers: how to read the cable type names
60245 IEC 58f: equivalents in other countries
Shown for 2x1.5 300/500 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 50525-2-82 | H05RNH2-F 2x1,5 300/500 V | Equivalent | every value the same |
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.
60245 IEC 58f as the cable designer builds it, 2x1.5 300/500 V
Flat, 13.5 × 4.7 mm (width × thickness), about 100 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 | EI 4 rubber | 0.80 | 3.1 |
| Filler | EM 2 polychloroprene | 3.1 | |
| Sheath | EM 2 polychloroprene | 0.80 | 4.7 |
60245 IEC 58f on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 13.5 mm and about 100 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 8 (800 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 11 of 12 | 81–85 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 9 (900 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 14 of 14 | 147–151 kg |
Barrel at least 12 × OD = 162 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.
