German Standard Industrial Cables
N2XY

Application and Description

N2XY power cables with insulation of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) are designed for distribution and supply of consumers with nominal voltage 0.6/1 kV and frequency 50 Hz in industrial installations and urban networks. They are suitable for fixed indoor assembly in cable ducts and conduits, over shelves and grilles, directly underground in ditch and outdoor under shelters providing the conditions determined for the type of cable.
