RVV Flexible PVC Control Cable 16mm House Wire For Cabinets

RVV is a multi-core flexible copper cable with PVC insulation and a PVC outer sheath, widely used for indoor wiring where you need both flexibility and a protected jacket. It is commonly selected for control cabinets, automation equipment, instrumentation connections, small machinery, appliances, and building auxiliary circuits. RVV is a practical choice when installers want faster routing than rigid power cable, cleaner cable management than loose single wires, and a cost-efficient solution for high-volume projects.

For distributors and project buyers, RVV is a high-demand cable family because it covers many everyday indoor applications, supports a wide range of core counts and sizes, and fits bulk procurement for OEM assembly and MRO replacement.

Voltage Rating

Common voltage classes for RVV depend on market standard and configuration. Typical options include:

• 300/300 V for many low-voltage control and signal uses
• 300/500 V for general flexible wiring
• 450/750 V for higher-rated flexible circuits in some markets

Select the voltage class according to your local standard, equipment requirements, and procurement specification.

Key Advantages

• Multi-core flexibility for faster installation

  RVV combines flexible stranded copper with a unified sheath, making routing easier in trays, trunking, and cabinet entries.

• PVC sheath for cleaner wiring and protection

  The outer jacket improves handling and provides practical protection against abrasion in indoor routes and enclosures.

• Cost-effective control and auxiliary cable

  RVV is widely used because it balances performance and price for everyday equipment wiring and building services.

• Organized wiring for cabinets and machines

  Multi-core construction reduces clutter compared with multiple single wires, improving maintenance and troubleshooting efficiency.

• Distributor-friendly SKU coverage

  A broad mix of cores and sizes supports stock programs and fast delivery for OEMs, integrators, and maintenance buyers.

Typical Applications

• Control cabinets and electrical panels
• Automation equipment and machine wiring
• Instrumentation and device interconnections
• Building auxiliary circuits and indoor distribution
• Appliances, small machinery, and OEM assemblies
• Indoor tray, trunking, and conduit runs with limited movement

Construction and Materials

• Conductor: stranded copper
• Insulation: PVC on each core
• Outer sheath: PVC
• Core count: multi-core
• Installation: indoor, fixed after installation with occasional flex during routing
• Movement: not intended for continuous dynamic motion

Selection Guide

• Choose RVV for indoor multi-core wiring where flexibility and a protective sheath improve installation speed and cable management.
• Select voltage class according to the equipment rating and local standard.
• Choose core count based on the number of circuits and control points; choose cross-section based on current and run length.
• For long outdoor exposure, direct burial, high heat, oil contact, or low-smoke halogen-free requirements, select a cable designed for those conditions.
