HIV
HIV is a JIS type names (Japan) cable designation: HIV = HIV: Japanese name of the 600 V heat-resistant PVC (type 2 vinyl) insulated wire, one copper conductor, no sheath, 75 °C (JIS C 3317); HIV = HIV: 600 V heat-resistant PVC insulated wire (type 2 vinyl), one copper conductor. 600 V, 75 C (catalogue page at wirecable-sales.com; Sumitomo HST-SS10-4001 for the build). JIS C 3317.

Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (HIV).
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 →

HIV as the cable designer builds it, 1x2.01 600 V
Overall diameter 3.2 mm, about 30 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 | 0.80 | 3.2 |
HIV on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 3.2 mm and about 30 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 | NEMA 14x10x5, wood NEMA reels (North America), Okonite | 13 of 19 | 17 kg |
| 1,000 m | NEMA 18x10x6, wood NEMA reels (North America), Okonite | 20 of 30 | 35 kg |
Barrel at least 20 × OD = 64 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.

Laying, sizes and datasheet: HIV
HIV belongs to the family North American cables: the lowest laying temperature, bending radius, pulling, depth, drum handling and the test after laying, every rule with its sources. Laying and handling guide: North American cables
Its sizes are in AWG and kcmil, which are not the same as the nearest mm²: compare them by area and by resistance. AWG to mm²
