The NKT CYKY installation cable is a professional-grade power cable engineered for reliable fixed electrical installations. With a configuration of five conductors, each featuring a 2.5 mm² cross-section, this cable is designed to handle power distribution requirements in both residential and commercial settings. The cable is encased in a durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation and outer sheath, which provides excellent protection against environmental factors. Its robust hose-shaped construction and UV resistance make it a versatile choice for various wiring projects where long-term durability is essential.
Advantages
This installation cable offers exceptional reliability for permanent wiring applications due to its high-quality construction materials. The use of PVC for both insulation and the outer jacket ensures that the cable remains flexible yet resistant to mechanical stress and moisture. Furthermore, the cable is specifically designed to be UV resistant, allowing for extended service life even when exposed to sunlight. Meeting the Eca flammability class, it provides a standard level of fire safety compliance for building installations, ensuring peace of mind for professional electricians and property owners alike.
Suitable for
- Fixed electrical installations in residential buildings
- Power distribution in commercial and office spaces
- Wiring in both dry and damp indoor environments
- Outdoor installations where UV resistance is required
When it may not be suitable
This cable is not intended for applications requiring high-temperature resistance beyond standard PVC limits or for environments involving exposure to aggressive chemicals. It is also not suitable for direct burial in the ground without additional protective conduit or for use in areas where specific fire-retardant ratings higher than Eca are mandated by local building codes.

How to use
The NKT CYKY cable is designed for fixed installation. It can be installed on, in, or under plaster, as well as in cable ducts or trays. When routing the cable, ensure that the minimum bending radius is respected to prevent damage to the internal conductors and insulation. Connections should be made by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical regulations. Ensure that all terminations are properly secured and that the cable is protected from mechanical damage during the installation process.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 2.5 mm² cross-section is sufficient for the intended electrical load and circuit breaker rating.
- Ensure the 500 m length is appropriate for the scale of your project.
- Check local building regulations regarding the Eca fire safety rating for your specific installation environment.
- Confirm that the installation method complies with safety standards for fixed wiring.
Usage recommendations
Always consult with a certified electrician before beginning any electrical installation to ensure compliance with safety standards and local building codes. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive tension or sharp bends during installation to maintain its structural integrity and performance.
