What Do These Cable Types Mean?
BVVB
Cu / PVC / PVC
What it is: Flat cable with solid copper cores (rigid, non-bendable) + PVC insulation/sheath.
Best for: Permanent, fixed wiring (e.g., wall wiring, household electrical systems).
Options: 2 cores, 2+1 cores (with earth), 3/4/5 cores.
RVVB
Cu / PVC / PVC
What it is: Flat cable with flexible/stranded copper cores (braided, bendable) + PVC insulation/sheath.
Best for: Flexible wiring (e.g., behind appliances, narrow conduits) or temporary installations.
Options: Same core configurations as BVVB (2, 2+1, 3/4/5 cores).
BLVVB
Al / PVC / PVC
What it is: Flat cable with solid aluminum cores (rigid, low-cost) + PVC insulation/sheath.
Best for: Long-distance fixed wiring (cost savings vs. copper).
Options: Only 2 cores (twin-core).
