The NKT CYKY installation cable is a robust and reliable solution designed for fixed electrical installations in both residential and commercial environments. Featuring five conductors with a cross-section of 4 mm², this cable is engineered to handle power distribution tasks efficiently while maintaining high safety standards. The cable is protected by a durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation and outer sheath, ensuring long-term performance and resistance to environmental factors. With a voltage rating of 750 V and Eca fire safety compliance, it provides a secure foundation for electrical wiring projects.
Advantages
This installation cable stands out due to its high-quality construction and versatility in various building applications. The inclusion of a UV-resistant outer layer makes it particularly suitable for installations where the cable might be exposed to sunlight, preventing premature degradation of the material. Its hose-shaped design facilitates easier routing through conduits and wall structures, while the standardized 5-core configuration simplifies complex wiring tasks. The use of high-grade PVC materials ensures excellent electrical insulation and mechanical protection, contributing to the overall longevity and safety of the electrical system.
Suitable for
- Fixed electrical installations in residential buildings
- Wiring in commercial and office spaces
- Power distribution circuits requiring five conductors
- Outdoor installations where UV resistance is necessary
- Installation in conduits or directly on walls
When it may not be suitable
This cable is not intended for applications requiring high flexibility, such as connecting mobile appliances or machinery that undergoes frequent movement. It is strictly designed for fixed installations and should not be used in environments where it will be subjected to constant mechanical stress or vibration.

How to use
The NKT CYKY cable should be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. When routing the cable, ensure that the minimum bending radius is respected to avoid damaging the internal conductors. The cable can be installed in dry or damp environments, either on, in, or under plaster, as well as in cable ducts. Ensure that all connections are properly secured and that the cable is protected from mechanical damage during and after the installation process.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 4 mm² cross-section is sufficient for the intended electrical load
- Ensure the 5-core configuration matches your circuit requirements
- Check local building codes regarding Eca fire safety compliance
- Confirm the total length of 100 meters is adequate for your project needs
Usage recommendations
Always ensure that the power supply is disconnected before beginning any installation work. Use appropriate cable stripping tools to avoid nicking the copper conductors, and ensure that all terminations are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque to prevent overheating.
