N2XH Cables

N2XH-J and N2XH-O cables (N2XH-J with a Green/Yellow protective conductor and N2XH-O without) are widely used European power cables used for electricity supply for fixed installations with a voltage rating of 600/1000V in public buildings. Their 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.

N2XH cables are increasingly preferred for distributing power around industrial buildings, with the Class 5 conductor version in particular offering a more flexible alternative to more rigid power cables. 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.

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-J and N2XH-O cable selection

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.
