FR-CV
FR-CV is a TCVN type names (Vietnam) cable designation: CV = CV: copper (C) conductor with PVC (V) insulation, single core, no sheath (Vietnamese makers' name); CV = CV (Vietnam): single-core stranded (class 2) copper wire, PVC insulation, no sheath. 450/750 V (TCVN 6610-3), 0.6/1 kV with V-75 PVC (AS/NZS 5000.1), 600 V (JIS C 3307), as Cadivi prints them. TCVN 6610-3:2000 (60227 IEC 01, 450/750 V); AS/NZS 5000.1 (0.6/1 kV); JIS C 3307 (600 V) (Cadivi).

How to read a Norwegian type designation (NEK 606 offshore and Norwegian land cables) cable code
Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (CV).
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.
FR-CV as the cable designer builds it, 1x1.5 450/750 V
Overall diameter 3.0 mm, about 20 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 | 3.0 |
FR-CV on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 3 mm and about 20 kg/km as the cable designer builds it. Drums as their makers print them; lengths are estimates within a few per cent of the cable makers' own tables: whole layers, wound diameter 1.05 × OD, 50 mm freeboard under the flange rim.
| Length | Drum size (its makers) | Layers | Gross weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 m | KTG 3 (390 mm flange), plastic KTG drums (Europe), KTG | 8 of 26 | 12 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 3 (390 mm flange), plastic KTG drums (Europe), KTG | 15 of 26 | 22 kg |
Barrel at least 20 × OD = 59 mm for a cable of this kind (Low voltage, single core): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
