VVR cable is a flexible cable with the same structure as VV cable, but RVV is a sheathed cable, while VVRP is a shielded, multi-strand flexible cable. Below are images, model specifications, and performance application standards for VVR cables.
1. What is VVR Cable?
VVR stands for Copper Core PVC Insulated and Sheathed Flexible Power Cable, with a voltage rating of 0.6/1kV. It uses Type 5 conductors specified in the national standard. Each copper wire has a diameter of approximately 0.2-0.3mm. The large number of conductors makes it relatively flexible, making it suitable for frequently moving power cords, such as computer power cables. It is a derivative of VV power cable and is suitable for transmitting continuous current in distribution networks or industrial electrical equipment with an AC rated voltage U0/U1 of 600/1000V or less. Its manufacturing standard refers to GB/T 12706. Technical Description of VVR Cable Performance Parameters:

III. Differences between VVR and RVV Cables
1. Cable Properties: RVV is generally called a flexible wire, while VVR is called a flexible cable. RVV stands for "PVC insulated and sheathed flexible cable." The letter "R" stands for "flexible wire." Of course, when "R" is placed after "V," VR stands for "PVC flexible jacket."
2. Voltage Rating: RVV is rated for 300/500V, while VVR generally has a voltage rating of 0.6/1kV.
3. Applications: VVR is suitable for power cords that are frequently moved, such as computer power cords.
4. Implementation Standards: RVV cables are manufactured in accordance with the national standard GB/T 5023-2008. VVR cables are manufactured in accordance with the GB/T 12706-2008 standard.
5. Cable Structure: VVR cables have the same structure as VV cables.
6. Cable Core Count: RVV cables have a conductor cross-section between 0.5 and 2.5 mm² and a cable core count between 2 and 5. VVR cables have a conductor cross-section between 1.5 and 630 mm² and a cable core count between 1 and 5.
