Product description
The N2xy cable is a low voltage power cable (0,6/1 kV) Designed for fixed installations. It consists of a copper driver, XLPE insulation (cross-linked polyethylene) and a PVC sheath. This cable is distinguished by its excellent thermal resistance, Its low dielectric loss, its large current transport capacity and its long lifespan. Compliant with IEC standard 60502-1, It is perfect for industrial applications, residential and urban distribution networks. It can be placed in pipes or buried directly, in significant mechanical risk environments.
The copper driver can be monobrin (Class 1) or multibrins (Class 2 ou type SM), offering great installation flexibility and reliable conductivity. The N2xy range includes several variants, especially N2xy-J (with earth driver) the n2xy-o (landless), in order to meet the specific requirements of each project.
Meaning of the name N2xy
- N : Complies with European standards for low voltage cables (0,6/1 kV)
- 2x : "2" indicates the use of XLPE insulation (cross-linked polyethylene), Complies with the HD603-5 standard (Part relating to XLPE insulation) ; "X" is the abbreviation of "reticulated" (cross-linked polyethylene), Encourting together the use of XLPE as an insulating material.
- Y : PVC outdoor sheath (polyvinyl chloride)
