What is MCu cable?
MCu: PVC-insulated single-core wire with a solid (or, from 16 mm2, stranded) copper conductor, 450/750 V (H07V-U, H07V-R). Rating: 450/750 V, 70 C. Standard: MSZ 1166-13, DIN VDE 0281-3 (H07V-U, H07V-R).
Elektro Profi p.1-2: 'H07V-U (MCu)' 1,5-10 mm2 solid and 'H07V-R (MCu)' 16-150 mm2 stranded, MSZ 1166-13. Vilszershop: 'MCu Tömör rézvezetőjű vezetékek (H05V-U, H05V2-U, H07V-U)'. Legend from the bonuszvill.hu / fejhallgatoszerviz.hu table 'Altalanos vezetek tipusok hetkoznapi, regi megnevezese' (it says the names are 'nem szabványos jelölések', not standard designations): M = muanyag (plastic), MM = muanyag-muanyag, B = burkolt (sheathed), T = tomloszerkezetu (hose construction), -K = kerek (round), -L = lapos (flat), Cu = rez vezeto (copper conductor), Kh = kulonosen hajlekony (extra flexible). The HAR equivalents and the MSZ 1166 part numbers are from the Elektro Profi catalogue (1st chapter, 16 Jan 2007).
