0.6/1kV N2XFGbY Cable
0.6/1kV N2XFGbY Cable offers structural resilience where high tensile pulling forces and physical crushing risks exist during installation or operation. Manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502-1 and VDE 0276-603 standards, this industrial power cable features Class 2 stranded plain copper conductors insulated with thermally stable Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE). Designed to sustain continuous operating temperatures up to +90°C and short-circuit conditions up to +250°C
What is N2XFGbY Cable?
N2XFGbY Cable is a 0.6/1kV Class 2 stranded copper XLPE insulated double-armoured power cable manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502-1 and VDE 0276-603 standards. Developed for fixed low-voltage energy distribution networks, it provides superior resistance against mechanical compression and heavy pulling forces that occur during cable laying or service.
The cable structure features circular or sector-shaped stranded copper conductors, XLPE insulation, an extruded PVC bedding filler, galvanized flat steel wire armour (SWA), galvanized steel tape, and a flame-retardant black PVC outer sheath. The integration of flat steel wires combined with a steel counter-tape provides a broad mechanical surface area, distributing high tensile loads effectively and protecting the internal core assembly from structural deformation.
N2XFGbY Cable Construction
- Conductor: Class 2 stranded plain copper conductor ensuring electrical performance and mechanical durability.
- Insulation: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) rated for high thermal loads up to +90°C continuous operation.
- Filler: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound forming a uniform bed for the armouring layers.
- Armour Layer 1: Galvanised flat steel wires (SWA) engineered to withstand heavy longitudinal pulling tension.
- Armour Layer 2: Galvanised steel tape counter-wound to maximize transverse crushing resistance.
- Outer Sheath: Flame-retardant black PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) per IEC 60332-1.
- Core Identification: 2 core: Blue, Brown; 3 core: Brown, Black, Grey; 4 core: Blue, Brown, Black, Grey; 5 core: Blue, Brown, Black, Grey, Black.
Applications
The N2XFGbY cable is engineered for underground power distribution, industrial utility trenches, cable trunking, and outdoor installations where elevated mechanical protection is necessary. Its primary utility lies in installations where high-pulling stresses are encountered during installation through dense subterranean conduits or steep vertical drops.
Whether laid directly in soil with rough backfill materials, housed inside concrete ducts, or routed across heavy-duty industrial racks, N2XFGbY provides dependable protection against physical impact, environmental wear, and continuous physical strain.
