Product Overview

U-1000 RVFV XAV Cable is a 0.6/1kV XLPE-insulated armored power cable manufactured to the French standard NF C 32-322. Naming: U-1000 = 1000V rating (French designation for 0.6/1kV), R = rigid conductor, V = XLPE insulation, FV = tape armor (steel or aluminium), XAV = indicating aluminium tape option for single-core. It is the French NFC equivalent of the Spanish UNE 21123 RVFV-K — both share identical construction principles: XLPE insulation, double steel or aluminium tape armor, PVC sheath, with aluminium tape mandatory for single-core to avoid eddy current heating. The conductor is Class 1 (solid, 1.5-4mm²) or Class 2 (stranded, 6mm²+), with Class 2 also available for smaller sizes on request.

Cable Construction

Copper Conductor

XLPE Insulation

Cross-linked polyethylene per IEC 60502-1. 90°C continuous, 250°C short-circuit (max 5s).

PVC Bedding

Black extruded PVC separation sheath between laid-up cores and armor. Ensures smooth bedding surface.

Tape Armour (FV/XAV)

Double steel tape (multi-core) or aluminium tape (single-core mandatory per NFC). 0.2mm for ≤35mm², 0.5mm for ≥50mm².

PVC Outer Sheath

Flexible PVC, black. Low halogen (chlorine <15%), flame-retardant per NF C 32-070 C2.

Applicable Standards & Certifications

Standard	Scope
NF C 32-322	French national standard for XLPE insulated armored power cables 0.6/1kV. The primary standard for U-1000 RVFV.
NF C 32-070 C2	French flame retardancy test — Category 2 bundled cable fire performance. More stringent than single-cable IEC 60332-1.
IEC 60502-1	International standard for power cables 1kV-30kV. U-1000 RVFV meets all IEC 60502-1 requirements.
IEC 60332-1-2	Flame non-propagation — single cable vertical flame test.
EN 50575	CPR fire classification — Eca class. Mandatory for cables sold in EU since July 2017.
UNE 211605	Spanish UV resistance certification — accepted for French outdoor installations.

French market specificity: The "G" notation (3G, 4G, 5G) in NF C 32-322 follows the same convention as UNE 21123: all cores including the earth conductor carry the same cross-section. The "x" notation (3x, 4x) indicates standard cores without a dedicated earth, or with a reduced earth in "3x+1x" configurations. French regulations often mandate G-type cables for public buildings and high-occupancy installations.

Technical Specifications — Dimensional Data

All values per NF C 32-322. Dimensions represent maximum values. Armor thickness: 0.2mm (≤35mm²), 0.5mm (≥50mm²). For current ratings and voltage drop data, refer to the RVFV-K specification which uses the same cable construction per IEC 60502-1.
