PV1-F Solar Cable, TUV 2 PfG 1169 | T 50601863 01

2 PfG 1169 is a photovoltaic DC cable manufactured by Xinya Electronic Co., Ltd. It is rated AC 0.6/1 kV, DC 1.8 kV, -40 C to +90 C. The catalogue describes it as a photovoltaic DC construction. It is supplied in 6 recorded constructions spanning 1.5–16 mm², with an overall diameter of 4.7–8.4 mm, cut to the length you order.

Type designation: PV1-F

PV1-F is the established trade name for photovoltaic cable built to TÜV Rheinland’s specification 2 PfG 1169/08.2007, and it is the name most procurement documents still use. It is worth being precise about what that name is: PV1-F comes from a TÜV specification, not from a harmonised European standard. The harmonised designation for photovoltaic cable is H1Z2Z2-K, defined by EN 50618. Where a project names PV1-F, the certificate and the sheath marking carry the authority — not the commercial name on the quotation.

Both designations describe single-core, halogen-free, cross-linked cable over a tinned-copper conductor, built for permanent outdoor DC service, and both are supplied to the project’s own specification rather than from stock. What settles the marking is the standard your project documents name, so confirm that before the order is placed. Our EN 50618 line and IEC 62930 line cover the other two references.

2 PfG 1169 at a glance

• 1.5–16 mm², across 6 listed constructions
• Stranded conductor throughout the documented range
• Overall diameter 4.7–8.4 mm
• Max. conductor resistance 1.24–13.7 Ω/km at 20 °C DC (roughly 0.4–4.2 Ω per 1,000 ft)

How 2 PfG 1169 compares with its nearest alternatives

2 PfG 1169 and EN50618 sit in the same catalogue group but are rated differently. Overall diameter runs 4.7–8.4 mm for 2 PfG 1169 against 4.7–7.4 mm for EN50618. EN50618 is the tighter of the two, so 2 PfG 1169 is the option to take only when the larger diameter is acceptable. Size coverage is 1.5–16 mm² against 1.5–10 mm².

2 PfG 1169 and IEC62930 sit in the same catalogue group but are rated differently. Overall diameter runs 4.7–8.4 mm for 2 PfG 1169 against 4.7–7.4 mm for IEC62930. IEC62930 is the tighter of the two, so 2 PfG 1169 is the option to take only when the larger diameter is acceptable. Size coverage is 1.5–16 mm² against 1.5–10 mm².

Conductor construction and selection

Every construction listed for 2 PfG 1169 is a stranded conductor, which suits harnesses and assemblies that are flexed or routed around a bend. The resistance column gives the maximum permitted value for the conductor at 20 °C DC.

How to read the 2 PfG 1169 table

“Insulation O.D. (mm)” is measured over the insulation, not over a jacket, tape or braid. “Cable O.D. (mm)” is the finished cable diameter, which is the value to quote for gland, grommet and connector sizing. Conductor resistance is stated at 20 °C DC per kilometre — divide by 3.281 for ohms per 1,000 ft.

Questions buyers ask about 2 PfG 1169

Which sizes of 2 PfG 1169 are available?

1.5–16 mm², across the 6 constructions in the table below. Sizes outside the table can be quoted on request.

Is 2 PfG 1169 a stranded conductor?

Every construction documented for this line is stranded. Confirm the strand count you need — the “n/mm” figure in the table — because resistance and flexibility both depend on it, and two rows at the same size can differ.

What overall diameter does 2 PfG 1169 run to?

The documented range is 4.7–8.4 mm. Quote the size, not the style alone, when the diameter has to fit a specific gland, grommet or channel.
