0.6/1kV N2XRH Cable

What is 0.6/1kV N2XRH Cable?

N2XRH Cable is a Class 2 stranded copper XLPE insulated SWA power cable complying with BS 6724, IEC/EN 60502-1, IEC/EN 60228, and EN 50267-2-1 standards. It serves as the European reference designation for the BS 6724 low-voltage multi-core armored power cable.

Engineered for low-voltage power distribution in safety-critical public and industrial environments, it features Class 2 stranded circular plain copper conductors, XLPE insulation, LSZH filler bedding, Galvanized Steel Wire Armour (SWA), and a black LSZH outer sheath. Under fire exposure, it provides high mechanical protection while emitting low smoke density and zero toxic halogen acid gases, safeguarding personnel and sensitive electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between N2XRH cable and BS 6724 cable?
A: N2XRH is the European reference designation for the British Standard BS 6724 copper SWA LSZH 0.6/1kV power cable specification.

Q: What does LSZH mean in N2XRH cables?
A: LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. In fire conditions, the LSZH bedding and outer sheath emit minimal smoke and zero halogen acid gases, protecting human lives and preventing damage to sensitive equipment.

Q: Can N2XRH multi-core cable be installed directly underground?
A: Yes, the Galvanized Steel Wire Armour (SWA) layer provides strong mechanical protection against crushing and impact, making it suitable for direct burial and underground ducting.

Q: What payment terms does Huadong Cable Group accept for international orders?
A: We accept Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) and Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight for international B2B transactions.
