application: >
  The N2XSF2Y complies with common standards DIN VDE 0276-620, HD 620 S2 and IEC 60502,
  and is suitable for installation indoors, in cable ducts, outdoors, in water,
  underground, and on cable trays. This cable proves its strengths especially in
  utility grids, industrial plants, and power stations – wherever durability,
  watertightness, and safety are essential.

<h3>Designed for high-performance network environments</h3>
<p>The <strong>N2XS(F)2Y</strong> complies with common standards <strong>DIN VDE 0276-620</strong>, <strong>HD 620 S2</strong> and <strong>IEC 60502</strong>, and is suitable for <strong>installation indoors, in cable ducts, outdoors, in water, underground, and on cable trays</strong>. This cable proves its strengths especially in <strong>utility grids, industrial plants, and power stations</strong> – wherever durability, watertightness, and safety are essential.</p>
<h3>Structure and technical characteristics</h3>
<p>Inside is a <strong>bare, multi-stranded copper conductor</strong> (Class 2), surrounded by an <strong>extruded XLPE insulation with inner and bonded outer conductive layer</strong>. A <strong>longitudinally watertight, conductive tape</strong>, a <strong>copper wire screen with counter helix</strong>, and an additional <strong>longitudinally watertight layer</strong> ensure the design's integrity. The black <strong>PE outer sheath (Type DMP2)</strong> provides high mechanical strength.</p>
<h3>Applications and benefits</h3>
<p>The N2XS(F)2Y is <strong>suitable for underground installation</strong>, <strong>resistant to aggressive environmental conditions</strong>, and withstands <strong>temperatures up to +90 °C in continuous operation</strong> and <strong>+250 °C in short-circuit conditions</strong>. It is <strong>free from silicone and cadmium-containing substances</strong> and, thanks to its <strong>partial discharge-free design</strong>, particularly suitable for networks with the highest demands on <strong>electrical operational safety</strong> and longevity.</p>
