The NKT NYM installation cable is a high-quality electrical solution designed for fixed wiring in residential and commercial buildings. With five conductors each having a cross-section of 2.5 mm², this cable is engineered to handle power distribution tasks reliably in various environments. The cable features a durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation and outer sheath, ensuring long-term performance and protection against environmental factors. Rated for 500 V and compliant with Eca fire safety standards, it provides a secure foundation for electrical infrastructure.
Advantages
This installation cable offers excellent versatility due to its robust construction, which allows for both surface-mounted and flush-mounted applications. The PVC material provides effective insulation and resistance to moisture, making it suitable for dry, damp, and wet locations. Its hose-shaped design facilitates easier handling and installation, while the standardized core configuration ensures compatibility with common electrical systems. The Eca fire rating confirms that the cable meets essential safety requirements for building installations.
Suitable for
- Fixed electrical wiring in residential homes
- Power distribution in commercial office spaces
- Surface-mounted installations on walls or ceilings
- Flush-mounted installations within plaster or concrete
- Electrical circuits in damp or wet indoor environments
When it may not be suitable
This cable is not intended for outdoor use where it would be directly exposed to prolonged UV radiation or extreme weather conditions. It is also not designed for applications requiring high mechanical stress or constant movement, such as flexible power cords for portable appliances.

How to use
The NKT NYM cable should be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. It can be laid directly into plaster, on top of walls, or within cable conduits. Ensure that the cable is not subjected to sharp bends or excessive tension during the installation process. When stripping the outer sheath, use appropriate tools to avoid damaging the insulation of the individual cores.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 2.5 mm² cross-section is appropriate for the intended electrical load and circuit breaker rating.
- Ensure the installation environment complies with the Eca fire safety classification.
- Check the total length required for your project to confirm that the 100 m package is sufficient.
- Confirm that the cable is being used for fixed installations rather than mobile applications.
Usage recommendations
Always ensure that the electrical system is disconnected from the power supply before beginning any installation or maintenance work. Regularly inspect the cable routing to ensure it remains protected from physical damage and environmental hazards.
