sku: N2XS(FL)2Y-medium-voltage-cables
description: >
  The N2XS(FL)2Y cable is a longitudinally watertight medium-voltage cable with
  a copper conductor, XLPE insulation, and a tightly bonded Al/PE sheath. It
  offers maximum operational safety for critical infrastructures and provides
  reliable protection against penetrating moisture.

application: >
  The N2XS(FL)2Y meets the standards DIN VDE 0276-620, HD 620 S2 and IEC 60502. It is
  ideally suited for installation indoors, in cable ducts, outdoors, in soil, in water,
  and on cable trays – especially in utility grids, industrial plants, and switching
  stations, where high demands on mechanical strength and water resistance apply.
