sku: N2XS2Y-medium-voltage-cables
description: >
  The N2XS2Y cable is a robust medium-voltage cable with a copper conductor,
  XLPE insulation, and a durable PE sheath. It ensures reliable power
  transmission even under high mechanical stress and demanding environmental
  conditions.

application: >
  The N2XS2Y complies with the standards DIN VDE 0276-620, HD 620 S2 and IEC 60502. It is
  suitable for installation indoors, in cable ducts, outdoors, in water, on cable
  trays, and especially underground. Thanks to its robust sheath, it is frequently
  used in industrial plants, power stations, and switching stations, where stability
  and durability are essential.
