N2XB2Y Cable

N2XB2Y cable is a robust, medium-voltage power cable designed for underground and industrial applications where mechanical protection is essential but tensile loads are limited. With cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and a steel tape armoured construction, this cable offers high durability and reliable electrical performance under demanding conditions.

Application

N2XB2Y cables are suitable for:

• Underground installations, including direct burial

• Ducts, cable trays, and concrete environments

• Water-saturated areas, provided the cable is not under continuous tensile stress

• Power distribution systems in:

  • Electrical substations

  • Transformer stations

  • Industrial plants

  • Urban infrastructure and energy networks

These cables are specifically engineered to withstand moderate mechanical impacts, making them ideal for installation conditions requiring mechanical protection without exposure to significant tensile stress.

Applicable Standards

• IEC 60502-1

• HD 603 S1

CONSTRUCTION :

N2XB2Y Cable Construction
