sku: NY2Y-low-voltage-cables
description: >
  The NY2Y is an especially robust low-voltage cable for fixed installation
  under high mechanical demands – whether underground, in water, or in
  industrial environments. Thanks to its material combination, it is perfectly
  suited for a wide range of application conditions.

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.

<p data-start="556" data-end="987">The <strong data-start="560" data-end="568">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 data-start="706" data-end="792">fixed installation indoors, in cable ducts, outdoors, in water, and underground</strong> – wherever strong mechanical stress is expected during installation and operation.

<h3 data-start="989" data-end="1010">Detailed construction</h3>
<p data-start="1012" data-end="1431">The cable consists of a <strong data-start="1040" data-end="1056">copper conductor</strong>, available as solid round (RE), stranded round (RM), or sector-shaped stranded (SM). The <strong data-start="1156" data-end="1177">PVC core insulation</strong> ensures electrical safety, while the cores are stranded together and protected by a common <strong data-start="1262" data-end="1284">EPDM sheath</strong>. The outer sheath made of <strong data-start="1316" data-end="1324">HDPE</strong> (black, UV-resistant) makes the NY2Y particularly resistant to abrasion, moisture, and environmental influences.</p>
