hi tuf is not classed as flexible. flex does not go big enough, xlpe I don't think is a flexible cable either.

H07RNF is tough, flexible, available in larger sizes, UV resistant, oil resistant. It's used in factories to connect up machines.

rubber cable im not sure of suppose it will last.

just looking up h07rnf looks like for 32a ill need a 6mm 3c but there is also (H)07RC4N8-F which offers more protection or am i going OTT for a flexible lead?

Oh, thank you for spending the time to find that for me. so I have a get out of jail free card if I use the cable and they damage it. I'm usually always overly cautious with these things and thinking what if !!

Really H07RN-F is pretty tough, if you need more intrinsic protection then it is really SWA and that is not suited for anything that moves more than very occasionally.

Keeping the flex out of harm's way is the best plan, so attached to tray or in some duct, maybe an overhead hawser if clearance for vehicles, etc, allows it, etc, if you can. However, many temporary sites have nothing to helps with that and are quite brutal in how they treat cables
