N2XH-J & N2XH-O Cables (Class 2 /Class 5 Flex)

The N2XH cable range are European power cables for fixed wiring, increasingly preferred by electrical contractors for distributing power around industrial buildings. With copper conductors and XLPE insulation, their low smoke zero halogen, flame-retardant non-corrosive (FRNC) outersheath makes them suitable for use where smoke and corrosive gases would pose a risk to human life and sensitive equipment in the event of a fire.

The Eland Cables range of N2XH cables have been engineered by the The Cable Lab to offer 'enhanced' properties compared to standard N2XH cables, including easy-strip designs and additional environmental / climatic properties.

These cables are suitable for use in dry and damp environments, on or under plaster, on cable trays, in walls, masonry and in concrete. The N2XH cable is not suitable for direct burial without external protection against mechanical stress or water. 

N2XH Cable Voltage and Cable Sizes

The N2XH cable has a voltage rating of 600/1000V / 0.6/1kV. Both the N2XH Enhanced (otherwise known as an N2XH Class 2 cable) and N2XH Enhanced Flex (N2XH Class 5 cable) are available in single core and multicores, in core cross-sectional area sizes up to 300mm². Depending on the number of cores and core sizing, conductors are either circular or sectoral stranded - in the case of the smaller core sizes on the N2XH Enhanced cable it may also be a Class 1 solid conductor.

N2XH cables are available with Green/Yellow protective conductor (N2XH-J) and without (N2XH-O). 

Conductor shapes for N2XH cable

RE	Class 1 solid - round
SE	Class 1 solid - sectorial
RM	Class 2 / Class 5 stranded - round
SM	Class 2 / Class 5 stranded - sectorial

 

N2XH Class 5 Cable - Enhanced Flex Applications

The N2XH Enhanced Flex Class 5 conductor version is becoming the cable of choice in key applications where additional flexibility is required for installation designs. They are easy to strip and prepare for termination which saves time and labour onsite. Increasingly they are used in installations such as data centres and life sciences builds.

N2XH-J & N2XH-O datasheets & specification support

Specifying N2XH cables - both the Enhanced Class 2 and Enhanced Flex Class 5 versions - are frequently now specified by electrical contractors, consultants and EPCs. Should support with specification be required - comparisons and cross-referencing against other cables or confirming constructional materials and application suitability - our technical team and industry specialists are well-placed to assist.

As well as the N2XH-J and N2XH-O cable, we also supply the N2XCH cable with additional inner sheath and concentric conductor of copper wires and tape as part of our portfolio of European power cables. We also supply British standard low voltage armoured cables suitable for direct burial applications- please speak to one of our experts about the most appropriate cable for your specific application and installation environment.
