The NKT CYKY installation cable is a professional-grade electrical conductor designed for reliable power distribution in fixed installations. With a configuration of three conductors, each featuring a 1.5 mm² cross-section, this cable is engineered to support standard electrical circuits in both residential and commercial environments. The robust construction, featuring high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation and an outer sheath, ensures durability and protection against environmental factors. This cable is rated for voltages up to 750 V and complies with Eca fire safety standards, making it a dependable choice for modern building infrastructure.
Advantages
The primary advantage of the NKT CYKY cable lies in its versatile design, which allows for safe installation in both dry and damp locations. The inclusion of UV-resistant materials significantly extends the lifespan of the cable when exposed to sunlight, preventing degradation of the outer sheath. Its hose-shaped construction facilitates easier routing through conduits and wall structures, while the high-quality PVC materials provide excellent electrical insulation and mechanical protection. By meeting the Eca fire safety classification, the cable offers an added layer of security for building projects, ensuring that it performs reliably under standard operating conditions.
Suitable for
- Fixed electrical installations in residential buildings
- Power distribution in commercial office spaces
- Wiring in 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 installations involving constant mechanical stress or movement, such as flexible power cords for appliances. It is also not suitable for direct burial in the ground without additional protective conduit or for use in environments with specific fire safety requirements exceeding the Eca rating.

How to use
The NKT CYKY cable should be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations. It is designed for fixed installation, meaning it should be secured within walls, conduits, or cable trays. When stripping the outer PVC sheath and individual conductor insulation, ensure that the copper wires are not nicked or damaged, as this can compromise the electrical integrity of the connection. Connections should be made using appropriate terminals or junction boxes to ensure a secure and safe electrical path.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 1.5 mm² cross-section is sufficient for the intended electrical load and circuit breaker rating.
- Ensure the 100-meter length is adequate for your specific installation route to minimize unnecessary joints.
- Confirm that the Eca fire safety rating meets the building regulations for your specific project location.
- Check that the installation environment does not exceed the temperature or mechanical stress limits of PVC-insulated cables.
Usage recommendations
Always ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected before beginning any installation or maintenance work. Regularly inspect the cable routing to ensure it remains protected from sharp edges or excessive heat sources that could damage the PVC insulation over time.
