What is ZR-BVR/NH-BVR Soft Copper Flexible Building Wire?

BVR cable, also known as flexible wiring or secondary wire, is a PVC-insulated copper-core cable designed specifically for fixed wiring applications in power distribution cabinets. Widely preferred by electricians and architectural professionals for its high flexibility, durability, and ease of installation, BVR cable is a standard choice for electrical distribution systems requiring reliable secondary wiring.


Model Code Breakdown

The BVR cable designation follows a standardized coding system:

  • B: Fixed installation
  • V: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation
  • V: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheath
  • B: Parallel (round type not indicated)
  • R: Flexible wire

Note: Copper core is indicated by omission of “L” (aluminum core).
