RVVP is the light screened cable most often found inside equipment: R for flexible Class 5 conductors, the first V for PVC insulation, P for the copper wire screen, and the final V for the PVC sheath. Rated 300/300 V and built in 0.08–4 mm², it is not a power cable and should not be used as one — it exists to carry signals, low-voltage control and audio or data between devices within a cubicle or across a short machine run.

The screen is normally a braid of 0.10–0.15 mm tinned or bare copper wires, with a spiral copper wire screen offered where cost matters and the interference is modest. Voltcore holds both on the same braiding machines and will state the coverage achieved on the datasheet, because coverage is the figure that determines whether the cable meets the EMC behaviour the designer assumed when drawing it.

RVVP Flexible Shielded Cable — frequently asked questions

What is the difference between RVVP and RVSP?

Both are flexible screened cables at 300/300 V. RVVP uses a copper wire braid or spiral screen; RVSP uses a twisted pair construction, so the pair is twisted before screening. For a differential signal or a long run, RVSP gives better noise rejection; for general screened wiring, RVVP is sufficient.

Can RVVP carry mains power?

It is rated 300/300 V and tested at 2 kV, but it is not a power cable and has no recognised current rating for fixed mains wiring. Use it for signal, control and low-voltage circuits, and specify a power cable to GB/T or IEC for any mains distribution duty.

Braided or spiral screen — which should I specify?

Braid, where the cable passes interference or where it will be flexed. A spiral screen is cheaper and thinner but opens up under bending and its coverage drops with every movement, so it suits static, low-noise installations only.

How should the RVVP screen be earthed?

At one end for a low-frequency analogue signal, so no ground-loop current flows in the screen; at both ends where the cable faces high-frequency interference and the installation has a bonded earth plane. Terminate with an EMC gland or clamp rather than a pigtail.
