Electric power cable NKT Cables YDY 2x2.5 mm² 750 V white

NKT Cables YDY 2x2.5 mm² 750 V in white is a fixed-installation electric power cable intended for indoor electrical wiring. The cable features two PVC-insulated conductors with a cross-section of 2.5 mm² each and a PVC outer sheath, providing a rated voltage of 750 V. It is designed for power circuits where a two-core cable is required, including lighting circuits, socket circuits and connection of household appliances, and can be installed in dry and damp indoor locations in accordance with applicable local installation regulations.

Advantages

The cable combines standard conductor cross-section and a durable PVC sheath that ensures mechanical protection and basic resistance to moisture and typical indoor conditions. Its two-core construction simplifies routing for single-phase circuits and reduces installation complexity where an earth/ground conductor is not required. The white outer jacket provides a discreet appearance for exposed runs and finishes in residential and commercial interiors.

Suitable for

• Indoor fixed wiring of lighting circuits
• Powering standard socket circuits for household appliances
• Connection of single-phase equipment where two conductors are sufficient
• Installation in dry and damp interior spaces following local codes

Key specifications

• Conductor configuration: 2 cores
• Conductor cross-section: 2.5 mm² per core
• Insulation and sheath material: PVC
• Rated voltage: 750 V
• Outer jacket color: white
• Application type: fixed indoor installation

How to use

Plan the cable route according to local electrical regulations and avoid areas with excessive heat or mechanical stress. Use appropriate cable clamps and conduits where required. Strip the outer sheath and individual conductor insulation to the lengths recommended by the terminal or device manufacturer, ensuring secure and corrosion-free connections. Terminate the cable in junction boxes, distribution boards or device terminals designed for PVC-insulated conductors. Where an earth/ground conductor is required by regulation or for safety, use a separate earthing conductor or a different cable type that includes an earth core.

Usage recommendations

Verify local electrical codes for permitted applications and maximum conductor run lengths, and use appropriate protective devices (fuses, circuit-breakers, RCDs) sized for circuits supplied with 2.5 mm² conductors. For installations exposed to mechanical damage, outdoor use, or permanently wet conditions, select a cable with suitable mechanical, UV and moisture protection instead of basic PVC-sheathed indoor cable.
