The NKT CYKY installation cable is a robust power cable engineered for reliable electrical distribution in fixed installations. Featuring five conductors with a cross-section of 10 mm² each, this cable is designed to handle demanding power requirements in both residential and commercial infrastructure. The cable is encased in a durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheath, providing excellent protection against environmental factors, and is specifically treated to be UV resistant, making it suitable for various installation conditions.
Advantages
This cable offers exceptional durability and long-term performance due to its high-quality PVC insulation and outer jacket materials. The construction ensures consistent electrical conductivity and safety, meeting the Eca fire safety classification. Its UV resistance allows for versatile application in environments where exposure to sunlight might otherwise degrade standard cabling, while the hose-shaped design facilitates easier routing through conduits and cable trays during installation.
Suitable for
- Power distribution in residential buildings
- Electrical wiring in commercial and industrial facilities
- Fixed installations in dry and damp indoor environments
- Outdoor installations where UV resistance is required
This cable is not intended for applications requiring high flexibility or frequent movement, as it is designed specifically for fixed installations. It is also not suitable for direct burial in the ground without additional protective conduit or for use in environments exceeding its specified voltage and thermal ratings.
Key specifications
- Number of conductors: 5
- Conductor cross-section: 10 mm²
- Rated voltage: 750 V
- Insulation and sheath material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
- Flammability class: Eca
- UV resistance: Yes
- Cable shape: Hose
- Total length: 500 m
How to use
The NKT CYKY cable should be installed by qualified electrical professionals in accordance with local building codes and safety regulations. It is designed for fixed mounting, meaning it should be secured within walls, conduits, or cable trays. When stripping the outer PVC sheath, ensure that the internal insulation of the five conductors remains undamaged to maintain the integrity of the electrical connection. Proper cable management practices should be followed to avoid sharp bends that could compromise the cable structure over time.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 10 mm² cross-section meets the load requirements of your specific electrical circuit.
- Ensure the 5-conductor configuration matches your power distribution needs.
- Confirm that the installation environment complies with the Eca fire safety rating.
- Check the total length required to ensure the 500 m reel is sufficient for your project.
Usage recommendations
Always ensure that the cable is not subjected to mechanical stress or tension beyond its design limits during installation. For outdoor use, while the cable is UV resistant, ensure all connections and terminations are properly sealed against moisture ingress to maintain the longevity of the electrical system.
