CABO PP
CABO PP is a ABNT NBR (Brazil) cable designation: CABO = Cable (Portuguese); PP = The trade's name for the round multicore PVC/PVC cord (Lapp Brasil sells it as ÖLFLEX CLASSIC PP BR, "similar to H05VV-F"); the makers do not spell the letters out; CABO PP = Cabo PP: round flexible cord, two to five PVC insulated class 5 copper cores under a common PVC cover, 300/500 V (247 NM 53, the H05VV-F of the Mercosur standard); not the flat "cordão paralelo". 300/500 V; 70 °C continuous, 100 °C overload, 160 °C short circuit (Lapp Brasil). ABNT NBR NM 247-5 (247 NM 53; IEC 60227-5 MOD); conductor NBR NM 280 class 5.

What is CABO PP cable?
CABO PP: Cabo PP: round flexible cord, two to five PVC insulated class 5 copper cores under a common PVC cover, 300/500 V (247 NM 53, the H05VV-F of the Mercosur standard); not the flat "cordão paralelo". Rating: 300/500 V; 70 °C continuous, 100 °C overload, 160 °C short circuit (Lapp Brasil). Standard: ABNT NBR NM 247-5 (247 NM 53; IEC 60227-5 MOD); conductor NBR NM 280 class 5.
Lapp Brasil data sheet "ÖLFLEX CLASSIC PP BR" version 03, 16-08-2019 (manufacturer): NBR NM 247-5 (247 NM 53), IEC 60227-5 MOD, "similar aos cabos H05VV-F"; class 5 bare copper (NBR NM 280 / IEC 60228); insulation PVC/D 70 °C; cover PVC ST5 70 °C, black; Vo/V 300/500 V; test 2000 V AC; core colours as listed here (2: black, blue; 3: black, blue, brown or black, blue, green-yellow; 4: black, blue, white, red or black, blue, brown, green-yellow; 5: black, blue, white, red, orange or black, blue, brown, red, green-yellow); outer diameter 2x1,5 7.9 mm, 3x1,5 8.6 mm, 2x2,5 9.1 mm, 3x2,5 9.9 mm. Sil "Silflex Cable PP 500 V" (manufacturer, through a search extract): NBR NM 247-5, 247-5 PA NM (IEC 60227-5 Mod), class 5, PVC/D. The ONC list (secondary) prints 247 NM 53 for Corfio's "Cabo Flexivel PP" with PVC/D insulation and a PVC ST5 cover. Mercado Livre sellers (Sil, Megatron, Condumig) list "cabo pp 2x1,5"; Condumig's 750 V mark was seen only in a listing. A "cabo PP" is round; the flat parallel cord without a cover is the CORDAO PARALELO entry (300/300 V). Bare "PP" is no alias: it is polypropylene in the open BS / IEC layer notation and in filler words.

CABO PP: equivalents in other countries
Shown for 3x1.5 300/500 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

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.
CABO PP as the cable designer builds it, 3x1.5 300/500 V
Overall diameter 8.1 mm, about 110 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 | 0.70 | 2.9 |
| Filler | PVC | 6.3 | |
| Sheath | PVC | 0.90 | 8.1 |
CABO PP on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 8.1 mm and about 110 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 5 (500 mm flange), plastic KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 14 of 16 | 58–59 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 7 (710 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 15 of 17 | 135–138 kg |
Barrel at least 12 × OD = 98 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.
