The NYCWY is one of the classic low-voltage cables according to VDE standard and is designed for rated voltages up to 1 kV. It is used wherever reliable energy distribution is required – in buildings, industrial plants, transformer stations, or directly underground. It can also be easily installed in cable trays, concrete environments, or underwater. The choice of materials ensures that this cable withstands even harsh conditions – without the need for additional protective measures.
The design is technically well thought out: a copper conductor forms the core, surrounded by PVC insulation that is both mechanically robust and electrically safe. This is followed by a concentric conductor in a corrugated shape, which serves as a protective or return conductor depending on the application. The outer layer is a durable PVC sheath that protects the cable against moisture, pressure, and chemical influences.
The NYCWY is available in a wide range of versions – for example, 4x25/16, 4x70/35, or 4x185/95. The first number group indicates the number and cross-section of the current-carrying conductors, the second refers to the concentric conductor. This flexibility allows the cable to be adapted to different network requirements – from house connections to industrial power distribution.
