Telecommunication Cable Madex YTKSY 5x2x0.5 mm² — 5 pairs, 0.5 mm² conductors

Madex YTKSY 5x2x0.5 mm² is a telecommunication cable constructed with five twisted pairs of 0.5 mm² conductors for signal and low-voltage communication lines. The cable is intended for internal installation in buildings and equipment cabinets where multicore twisted-pair cable is required for voice, data or control circuits. Its paired conductor design reduces interference between circuits and supports organized routing of multiple channels within a single sheath.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact multicore structure that simplifies installation of multiple communication lines in shared conduits or cable trays. Twisted-pair geometry improves resistance to crosstalk and electromagnetic interference compared with untwisted multi-conductor cable. Conductor size of 0.5 mm² provides a balance between mechanical robustness and electrical conductivity for low-voltage telecommunication and control signals. The overall assembly facilitates orderly connection and identification of individual pairs during termination and testing.

Suitable for

• Internal telephony and intercom wiring
• Low-voltage data and control circuits in buildings
• Alarm, access control and CCTV signal cabling where paired conductors are required
• Patch panels and terminal blocks in communication cabinets

Key specifications

• Configuration: 5 pairs (5x2 conductors)
• Conductor cross-section: 0.5 mm² per conductor
• Conductor type: stranded or solid copper (confirm variant before installation)
• Cable type: multicore twisted-pair telecommunication cable
• Intended use: internal building and equipment wiring for low-voltage signals

How to use

Route the cable through the intended conduit or cable tray, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress. Prepare terminations by stripping the outer sheath and separating the five twisted pairs; preserve pair twists as much as possible near the termination point to maintain signal integrity. Connect individual pairs to the appropriate terminals on patch panels, distribution blocks or equipment connectors following the wiring scheme required by the installation. Perform continuity and pair-to-pair tests after termination to verify correct connections and absence of short circuits.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep cable lengths within the design limits of the connected equipment and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to minimize induced interference. Select appropriate termination hardware and, where applicable, use shielded variants or additional separation when installations are exposed to strong electromagnetic sources.
