BVV PVC Insulated Non-Flexible Round Cable
Solid conductor PVC insulated and sheathed round cable for fixed installation
Product Overview
BVV is a round PVC insulated and sheathed cable with solid conductors, made for fixed installation where the cable is routed once and then left alone. The solid conductor is what makes it inexpensive and what makes it unsuitable for anything that has to flex after installation.
Key Benefits
- Round sheathed construction for fixed building and plant installation
- Solid conductors for a straightforward terminated connection
- Single and multi-core constructions from the same range
- Supplied alongside the rest of the project cable schedule
Problems It Solves
- Flexible cable used where fixed cable would do, at unnecessary cost
- Cable schedules split across several suppliers
- Sheathed and unsheathed constructions confused at specification stage
Application Scenarios
- Fixed building wiring
- Plant and machinery power connections that do not move
- Surface and conduit routed installations
- Distribution board final circuits
Who It Is For
- Electrical contractors on building and plant work
- Wholesalers stocking general purpose cable
- Panel builders
- Project buyers assembling a cable schedule

Compared With Other Options
| RVV flexible cable | RVV uses stranded flexible conductors for routes with tight bends or movement. BVV is the fixed installation equivalent. |
|---|---|
| PVC insulated single wire | Single wire has no overall sheath and is for conduit and enclosure routing. BVV is sheathed for direct fixing. |
Use Guide
- Use fixed cable only where the run will not move after installation
- Respect the minimum bending radius for solid conductors
- Support the cable at the intervals your installation standard requires
- Terminate solid conductors fully into the terminal so no strand is left outside

BVV PVC Insulated Non-Flexible Round Cable Questions
What is the difference between BVV and BV
BVV has an overall PVC sheath over the insulated cores. Unsheathed single wire is intended for routing inside conduit or an enclosure.
Can BVV be buried
It is a fixed installation building cable. For buried runs, use a cable specified for direct burial such as an armoured construction.
Are multi-core versions available
Yes - single and multi-core round constructions are in the same range.
