NKT NYM Installation Cable, 3 x 1.5 mm², 500 V, Eca, 100 m

The NKT NYM installation cable is a professional-grade electrical wire engineered for reliable power distribution in fixed installations. With a configuration of three conductors and a cross-section of 1.5 mm², this cable is designed to handle standard electrical loads in both residential and commercial settings. Its robust construction features a durable PVC insulation and outer sheath, providing excellent protection against environmental factors. The cable is rated for 500 V and complies with Eca fire safety standards, making it a dependable choice for modern electrical infrastructure.

Advantages

This installation cable offers exceptional versatility due to its ability to be installed in dry, damp, or wet environments, ensuring consistent performance regardless of the setting. The hose-shaped design facilitates easier handling and routing through conduits or wall structures. Its high-quality PVC materials provide long-term resistance to wear and tear, while the standardized 1.5 mm² cross-section ensures compatibility with most common electrical circuits and wiring accessories. The Eca fire safety rating provides added peace of mind for building safety compliance.

Suitable for

• Fixed electrical installations in residential buildings
• Wiring in commercial offices and retail spaces
• Surface-mounted or flush-mounted electrical systems
• Installations 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 suitable for applications requiring high-temperature resistance or for use in environments where the cable might be subjected to constant mechanical movement or vibration.

Key specifications

How to use

The NKT NYM cable should be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations. It can be laid directly into plaster, on top of plaster, or within conduits. When stripping the outer sheath, ensure that the inner conductor insulation remains undamaged to maintain electrical integrity. Secure the cable using appropriate clips or fasteners to prevent sagging or mechanical stress on the connection points.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the total length required for your project to ensure the 100 m reel is sufficient
• Confirm that the 1.5 mm² cross-section meets the current requirements for your specific circuit load
• Ensure the installation environment complies with the Eca fire safety rating
• Check for compatibility with existing junction boxes and electrical outlets

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the power supply is completely disconnected before beginning any installation work. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum recommended radius to prevent internal damage to the conductors.
