VAF-G

VAF-G is a TIS 11 type names (Thailand) cable designation: VAF-G = VAF-G: VAF with a third core, a green-and-yellow insulated protective earth laid flat beside the two cores; a name, not a letter code; VAF-G = VAF-G: flat cable, two PVC-insulated copper cores and a green-and-yellow insulated earth core side by side in a PVC sheath. 300/500 V, 70 C, test 2000 V (SPN Cable). TIS 11 Part 101-2553 (SPN Cable); Bangkok Cable prints Part 101-2559.

How to read a NBN (Belgian national cable names, ...B types) cable code

Fire behaviour (EU CPR)

PVC sheath (VAF-G).
Typically targeted, as declared by makers for this kind of construction in the examples this site checked (not the class of this cable):
- Eca N1XV-R, Ahlsell (seller)
- Cca-s3,d1,a3 FG16OR16, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)
- Eca U1000 R2V, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)
- Eca N2XSY, 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.

VAF-G as the cable designer builds it, 2x2.5+2.5 300/500 V

Flat, 12.2 × 5.4 mm (width × thickness), about 140 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	3.4
Ground conductor: Insulation	PVC	0.80	3.4
Filler	PVC		3.4
Sheath	PVC	1.0	5.4

VAF-G on a drum

The smallest drum that passes every check, for 12.2 mm and about 140 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 8 (800 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG	10 of 11	101–105 kg
1,000 m	KTG 9 (900 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG	13 of 13	187–191 kg

Barrel at least 15 × OD = 182 mm for a cable of this kind (Low voltage, multi-core): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
