H1Z2Z2-K Steel-Wire Armoured Solar Cable

The H1Z2Z2-K photovoltaic cable body is protected by an external steel-wire armour layer. The metallic barrier is intended for ground-level, utility and other exposed DC routes where rodent resistance and mechanical protection are both part of the cable-selection requirement.

Typical Scenarios
Key Specifications
  • Ground-level PV DC routes
  • Utility-scale solar fields
  • Agricultural and remote solar sites with severe rodent exposure
  • Fixed cable sections exposed to maintenance traffic or mechanical damage

 

  • Rated voltage: 1.5/1.5 kV DC; maximum 1.8 kV DC
  • Conductor: Class 5 flexible tinned copper
  • Insulation and sheath: cross-linked, halogen-free photovoltaic compounds
  • Additional protection: external steel-wire armour around the H1Z2Z2-K cable body
  • Base photovoltaic design: EN 50618 and IEC 62930
  • Temperature range of base photovoltaic cable, fixed installation: −40°C to +90°C
  • Protection concept: physical rodent and mechanical protection
  • Final overall diameter, bending radius and entry / gland arrangement: confirm from the HORNOUR production drawing for the selected size
  • CPR classification: not assigned in current HORNOUR documentation for this armoured construction

Product Highlights

Physical Steel-Wire Protection

The external steel-wire layer places a metallic barrier around the photovoltaic cable body, giving exposed sections substantially more resistance to gnawing and general mechanical damage than a modified sheath or polymer barrier alone. It is intended for routes where cable damage would be difficult or costly to repair.

Use Armour Where the Route Needs It

Armour adds diameter, weight and installation work, so it should be concentrated on genuinely exposed sections rather than used as a default string cable. Ground-level runs, utility sites and areas with severe pest or mechanical risk are the typical reasons to move to this construction.

Plan Supports and Entries Around the Armour

The finished armoured cable needs more bend space and different support and entry planning than standard H1Z2Z2-K. Glands, clamps and termination space should therefore be selected from the final production dimensions. The armour is a protective layer and should not be treated as an electrical screen or PE conductor unless the project design and issued product documentation explicitly define that function.

Application Areas

Designed for Utility PV fields, Ground-mounted solar arrays, Agricultural and remote PV sites and Mechanically exposed fixed DC routes.

Will the approval documents match the exact cable you quote?

Where a certificate, test report or DoP is part of the approval package, we match it to the quoted cable construction and the applicable scope. A document for one version is not treated as approval for another simply because the model name is similar.

Does the same H1Z2Z2-K CPR documentation cover Twin, PV Extension and rodent-resistant versions?

Not automatically. Twin constructions, connectorised extensions and modified constructions such as nylon barrier or steel-wire armour have to be checked against the scope of the applicable documents. For a PV extension lead, CPR evidence for the base cable does not by itself classify the complete connectorised assembly.
