application: >
  The N2XSY meets the standards DIN VDE 0276-620, HD 620 S2 and IEC 60502. It is designed
  for installation indoors, in cable ducts, in water, underground, or outdoors (when
  protected). Whether in industrial plants, power stations, or substations – this cable
  ensures safe and low-loss power transmission in medium-voltage networks.

Whether in <strong data-start="716" data-end="768">industrial plants, power stations, or substations</strong> – this cable ensures safe and low-loss power transmission in medium-voltage networks.</p>
<h3 data-start="870" data-end="905">Construction and technical features</h3>
<p data-start="907" data-end="1380">The cable consists of a <strong data-start="935" data-end="974">bare, multi-stranded copper conductor</strong> (Class 2), surrounded by <strong data-start="998" data-end="1015">XLPE insulation</strong> with a tightly bonded <strong data-start="1034" data-end="1057">outer conductive layer</strong>.
