The NKT CYKY installation cable is a robust and reliable power cable engineered for fixed electrical installations. Featuring five conductors with a cross-section of 2.5 mm², this cable is designed to handle demanding electrical distribution tasks in both residential and commercial settings. Its durable construction, utilizing high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for both insulation and the outer sheath, ensures long-term performance and protection against environmental factors. The cable is supplied in a 100-meter coil, making it an ideal choice for large-scale wiring projects where consistency and quality are paramount.
Advantages
This installation cable offers exceptional versatility due to its ability to function effectively in both dry and damp environments. The inclusion of a UV-resistant outer layer significantly extends the lifespan of the cable when exposed to sunlight, allowing for outdoor applications alongside indoor use. Its hose-shaped design facilitates easier routing through conduits and cable ducts, while the Eca flammability rating provides necessary safety compliance for standard building installations. The high-grade PVC materials ensure excellent electrical insulation and mechanical protection for the internal conductors.
Suitable for
- Fixed electrical installations in residential buildings
- Wiring in dry and damp indoor environments
- Outdoor electrical distribution where UV resistance is required
- Installation under plaster or within protective cable ducts
- Power supply for lighting and socket circuits
This cable is not intended for applications requiring high flexibility or constant movement, such as power cords for portable appliances. It is strictly designed for fixed installation and should not be used in environments where it will be subjected to mechanical stress, vibration, or frequent bending.

How to use
The NKT CYKY cable should be installed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical regulations. When routing the cable, ensure that the minimum bending radius is respected to prevent damage to the internal conductors or the insulation layer. The cable can be laid directly under plaster, in masonry, or within cable ducts. When installing outdoors, ensure that all connections are properly sealed against moisture ingress to maintain the integrity of the electrical system.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 2.5 mm² cross-section is appropriate for your specific current load requirements
- Ensure the 5-conductor configuration matches your circuit needs
- Confirm that the installation environment complies with the Eca flammability rating
- Check the total length required for your project to ensure the 100m coil is sufficient
Usage recommendations
Always inspect the cable for any physical damage before installation. Ensure that the cable is not exposed to temperatures exceeding the manufacturer's specified limits for PVC materials. When stripping the insulation, use appropriate tools to avoid nicking the copper conductors.
