application: >
  The NY2Y is a low-voltage cable for use in power plants, industrial facilities,
  switching stations, and local distribution networks. It is suitable for fixed
  installation indoors, in cable ducts, outdoors, in water, and underground – wherever
  strong mechanical stress is expected during installation and operation. The
  construction complies with TP PRAKAB 16/03 based on VDE 0276-603.

<h3>Reliable under heavy load</h3>
<p>The <strong>NY2Y</strong> is a low-voltage cable for use in power plants, industrial facilities, switching stations, and local distribution networks. It is suitable for <strong>fixed installation indoors, in cable ducts, outdoors, in water, and underground</strong> – wherever strong mechanical stress is expected during installation and operation. The construction complies with <strong>TP PRAKAB 16/03</strong> based on <strong>VDE 0276-603</strong>.</p>
<h3>Detailed construction</h3>
<p>The cable consists of a <strong>copper conductor</strong>, available as solid round (RE), stranded round (RM), or sector-shaped stranded (SM). The <strong>PVC core insulation</strong> ensures electrical safety, while the cores are stranded together and protected by a common <strong>EPDM sheath</strong>. The outer sheath made of <strong>HDPE</strong> (black, UV-resistant) makes the NY2Y particularly resistant to abrasion, moisture, and environmental influences.</p>
<h3>Typical applications</h3>
<p>NY2Y is ideally suited for applications with increased requirements for <strong>mechanical strength</strong> and <strong>weather resistance</strong>. Typical fields of use include power distribution in industrial plants, power stations, or transformer stations – but also in environments with moisture, direct sunlight, or chemical exposure.</p>
