The NKT CYKY installation cable is a robust power cable engineered for reliable performance in fixed electrical installations. With a configuration of five conductors, each featuring a 4 mm² cross-section, this cable is designed to handle demanding electrical loads in both residential and commercial settings. Its durable construction, featuring high-quality PVC insulation and an outer sheath, ensures long-term stability and protection against environmental factors, making it a dependable choice for modern electrical infrastructure.
Advantages
This cable offers exceptional versatility due to its UV-resistant outer layer, which allows for safe installation in both indoor and outdoor environments, including areas that are dry or damp. The hose-shaped design facilitates easier routing through conduits and walls, while the high-grade PVC materials provide excellent resistance to mechanical wear and environmental degradation. Its Eca flammability rating confirms that it meets standard safety requirements for building installations, providing peace of mind for long-term electrical projects.
Suitable for
- Fixed electrical installations in residential buildings
- Power distribution in commercial and industrial facilities
- Outdoor installations exposed to sunlight
- Wiring in dry or damp indoor environments
When it may not be suitable
This cable is not intended for applications requiring high flexibility or constant movement, such as power cords for portable appliances. It is also not suitable for direct burial in the ground without additional protective conduits or for installations where higher fire safety classifications are mandated by local building codes.
Key specifications
- Conductor cross-section: 4 mm²
- Number of conductors: 5
- Voltage rating: 750 V
- Insulation and sheath material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
- Flammability class: Eca
- UV resistance: Yes
- Cable shape: Hose
How to use
The cable should be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. It is designed for fixed mounting, meaning it should be secured within walls, conduits, or cable trays. Ensure that the bending radius is respected during installation to prevent damage to the internal conductors. When routing the cable, avoid sharp edges or surfaces that could compromise the integrity of the PVC sheath.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 4 mm² cross-section is sufficient for your specific current load requirements
- Ensure the 5-conductor configuration matches your circuit needs
- Check local building regulations regarding the Eca fire safety rating for your specific project
- Confirm the total length required for your installation
Usage recommendations
Always ensure that the electrical system is de-energized before beginning any installation work. Use appropriate cable glands and junction boxes to maintain the integrity of the installation, especially when routing the cable outdoors or in damp conditions.
