The RV-K is above all a power and distribution cable, not a board driver. Its largest section and its tension nominale de 600/1000V position it for current supply applications between equipment rather than for internal cabling of cabinets. For projects in mainland France or Belgium, the U-1000 R2V or the H07V-K will be more suitable depending on the application. For the Maghreb and sub-Saharan markets, the RV-K offers the best compromise between local availability and IEC normative compliance.
