Construction & Configuration
Rubber-Sheathed Flexible Construction
The YH/YHF welding cable uses an extra-fine stranded bare copper conductor beneath a single chloroprene rubber layer that serves as both insulation and outer sheath.
Bare Copper Conductor (Extra-Fine Strand)
Extra-fine stranded bare copper conductor per DIN VDE 0295, BS 6360, and IEC 60228 provides high flexibility and current-carrying capacity.
Conductor Separator Layer
A separator layer over the conductor eases stripping and protects the conductor during processing.
Chloroprene Rubber Sheath (EM5 Type)
A single chloroprene (CR) rubber layer, chlorinated rubber EM5 type, functions as both insulation and outer sheath.
Black Jacket Finish
Standard black rubber jacket color across both H01N2-D and H01N2-E constructions.
Dual Flexibility Grades (D / E)
Available as H01N2-D standard flexible or H01N2-E ultra-flexible construction to match handling needs.
Chemical & Weather Resistance
Maintains flexibility and performance under ozone, UV light, oxidation, oil, and petroleum exposure.
