sku: NYCWY-low-voltage-cables
description: >
  NYCWY cables are robust low-voltage cables with a concentric conductor,
  suitable for power distribution in buildings, industrial facilities, and
  underground installations. Thanks to their PVC insulation and sheath, they are
  mechanically durable, moisture-resistant, and versatile in use – even in
  concrete or water.

# NYCWY

<section>
<h3 data-start="213" data-end="264">Versatile use in power distribution</h3>
<p data-start="266" data-end="765">The NYCWY is one of the classic <strong data-start="302" data-end="345">low-voltage cables according to VDE standard</strong> 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.</p>
<h3 data-start="767" data-end="794">Construction and materials</h3>
<p data-start="796" data-end="1206">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 <strong data-start="1118" data-end="1132">PVC sheath</strong> that protects the cable against moisture, pressure, and chemical influences.</p>
<h3 data-start="1208" data-end="1239">Variants and cross-sections</h3>
<p data-start="1241" data-end="1628">The NYCWY is available in a wide range of versions – for example, <strong data-start="1320" data-end="1331">4x25/16</strong>, 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.</p>
