VCmd
VCmd is a TCVN type names (Vietnam) cable designation: VCmd = VCmd: Cadivi name of a flat twin flexible cord, two PVC-insulated class 5 copper cores joined side by side with no sheath; the d reads đôi (twin); VCmd = VCmd: flat twin flexible cord, two PVC-insulated class 5 copper cores joined side by side, no sheath. 0.6/1 kV as printed by Cadivi, PVC 75 C (V-75); 0.5 to 2.5 mm2. AS/NZS 5000.1:2005 (Cadivi); not an IEC 60227 type.

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

VCmd as the cable designer builds it, 2x1.5 0.6/1 kV
Flat, 6.3 × 3.1 mm (width × thickness), about 50 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 | 3.1 |
VCmd on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 6.3 mm and about 50 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 4 (400 mm flange), plywood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka | 13 of 13 | 29 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 6 (600 mm flange), plywood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka | 16 of 18 | 57 kg |
Barrel at least 12 × OD = 75 mm for a cable of this kind (Flexible cable (class 5 or 6 conductor)): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
