sku: N2XS(F)2Y-medium-voltage-cables
description: >
  The N2XS(F)2Y cable is a longitudinally watertight medium-voltage cable with a
  copper conductor, XLPE insulation, and a durable PE sheath. It combines high
  electrical safety with a rugged outer layer, making it ideal for demanding
  grid operation applications.

application: >
  The N2XSF2Y complies with common standards DIN VDE 0276-620, HD 620 S2 and IEC 60502,
  and is suitable for installation indoors, in cable ducts, outdoors, in water,
  underground, and on cable trays. This cable proves its strengths especially in
  utility grids, industrial plants, and power stations – wherever durability,
  watertightness, and safety are essential.
