The NKT NYM installation cable is a professional-grade power cable engineered for reliable electrical distribution in residential and commercial environments. With a configuration of 5 cores and a cross-section of 1.5 mm², this cable is designed to support standard electrical circuits while maintaining high safety standards. It is encased in a durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheath, providing excellent protection against environmental factors, making it suitable for both dry and damp locations.
Advantages
This installation cable offers exceptional versatility due to its robust construction and high-quality materials. The PVC insulation and outer jacket ensure long-term durability and resistance to mechanical stress during installation. Its design allows for efficient handling and routing, while the Eca flammability rating ensures compliance with modern building safety requirements. The cable is specifically optimized for fixed installations, providing a stable and secure connection for various electrical systems.
Suitable for
- Fixed wiring in residential buildings
- Electrical installations in commercial offices
- Surface-mounted wiring on walls
- Flush-mounted wiring inside plaster or concrete
- Power distribution in dry, damp, or wet environments
When it may not be suitable
This cable is not intended for direct burial in the ground or for use in applications where it will be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, as the outer sheath is not UV-stabilized. It should also not be used in environments where it may be subject to extreme mechanical impact or constant movement.

How to use
The NKT NYM cable is designed for fixed installation. It can be installed in, on, or under plaster, as well as in masonry or concrete, provided it is not embedded in vibrated or compressed concrete. When routing the cable, ensure that the minimum bending radius is respected to prevent damage to the internal conductors. Connections should be made by qualified personnel using appropriate junction boxes and terminals to ensure a secure electrical contact.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the total power load of your circuit to ensure 1.5 mm² is sufficient
- Check local building regulations regarding cable routing and fire safety
- Ensure the cable length of 100 meters is adequate for your project requirements
- Confirm that the installation environment is compatible with PVC-sheathed cables
Usage recommendations
Always ensure that the power supply is disconnected before beginning any installation work. It is recommended to use cable clips or conduits to secure the cable properly during surface mounting to maintain a clean and safe installation.
