ORANGE CIRCULAR
ORANGE CIRCULAR is a AS/NZS (Australia, New Zealand) cable designation: ORANGE = Orange PVC sheath (the colour is in the trade name); CIRCULAR = Circular: the cores and the earth laid up round, not flat as in TPS; V-90 = V-90: PVC insulation compound of AS/NZS 3808, the 90 C grade; ORANGE CIRCULAR = Orange circular: round building cable, V-90 PVC-insulated copper cores and a green/yellow earth laid up round, orange PVC sheath. 450/750 V or 0.6/1 kV; V-90 insulation, 90 C PVC sheath (Olex). AS/NZS 5000.2 (450/750 V, Olex GNHP); AS/NZS 5000.1 (0.6/1 kV, Olex HNHP); AS/NZS 1125.

Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (ORANGE, ORANGE CIRCULAR).
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 →

ORANGE CIRCULAR as the cable designer builds it, 1x16 0.6/1 kV
Overall diameter 9.7 mm, about 220 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 | 1.0 | 6.9 |
| Sheath | PVC | 1.4 | 9.7 |
ORANGE CIRCULAR on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 9.7 mm and about 220 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 6 (600 mm flange), plywood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka | 12 of 12 | 117 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 9 (900 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 11 of 17 | 267–271 kg |
Barrel at least 20 × OD = 194 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: ORANGE CIRCULAR
ORANGE CIRCULAR belongs to the family LV PVC power 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: LV PVC power cables
