N2XS2Y / N2XS(F)2Y / N2XS(FL)2Y Cables

Cables manufactured to N2XS2Y are single core copper conductor XLPE-insulated medium voltage cables with a polyethylene (PE) oversheath. Very similar in construction to the N2XSY equivalent which have PVC oversheathing, the high durability of PE gives the N2XS2Y a much greater degree of resistance to mechanical stress and abrasion both during the installation and during operation.

These cables are manufactured in accordance with VDE 0296-620, HD 620 and DIN EN 60228 Class 2. Their black oversheath is UV resistant and is suitable for direct exposure to sunlight. These cables are widely used in electrical power distribution networks and are suitable for fixed indoor or outdoor installations in cable ducts or in the ground.

Where the external installation sees the cables in contact with water - in waterlogged ducts for example - we also supply N2XS(F)2Y and N2XS(FL)2Y, which have longitudinal and/or radial water-blocking tapes for increased protection from water ingress.

This range of cable can be installed in temperatures as low as -20^oC.

N2XS2Y / N2XS(F)2Y / N2XS(FL)2Y voltage rating

The standard voltage rating for this range is as follows:
6/10 (12)kV – Test Voltage 21kV
12/20 (24)kV – Test Voltage 42kV
18/30 (36)kV – Test Voltage 63kV

N2XS2Y Cable specification

Meeting the system design alongside the demands of the installation and the environmental conditions. Support with specification can be sought from our technical team, whilst the datasheets will provide dimensional and electrical details to aid decision-making.

Consideration may also be given to the aluminium equivalent, NA2XS2Y, which is often used on installations without space restrictions, again with waterblocked variations also available.

Contact the team on by phone or by email to discuss your requirements further.
