Prysmian CYKY/XPK Power Cable, 5 x 16 mm²

The Prysmian CYKY/XPK power cable with a 5 x 16 mm² cross-section is a robust solution designed for reliable electrical installations in both residential and commercial infrastructure. Featuring five high-quality copper conductors, this cable ensures efficient and stable power distribution for various fixed wiring applications. Its durable construction and standardized design make it a dependable choice for professionals seeking long-term performance in electrical systems.

Advantages

This power cable offers exceptional durability due to its high-quality polyvinyl chloride insulation and outer sheath, which provide effective protection against environmental factors in both dry and damp conditions. The five-conductor configuration allows for versatile installation options, while the standardized cross-section ensures consistent electrical conductivity. Its hose-shaped design facilitates easier handling and routing during the installation process, contributing to a more efficient workflow on site.

Suitable for

• Fixed electrical installations in residential buildings
• Power distribution in commercial and office spaces
• Wiring in dry or damp indoor environments
• General electrical infrastructure projects

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for applications requiring high mechanical stress or constant movement, such as flexible power cords for portable appliances. It is also not suitable for direct burial without additional protective conduits or for installations exposed to extreme chemical environments that could degrade the PVC material.

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
• Number of conductors: 5
• Insulation and sheath material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Cable shape: Hose
• Colour: Black
• Flammability class: Eca

How to use

The cable should be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. It is designed for fixed installation, meaning it should be secured in place using appropriate clips, conduits, or cable trays. Ensure that the bending radius is respected during installation to prevent damage to the internal conductors or the outer PVC sheath. Connections should be made using compatible terminals to ensure a secure and low-resistance electrical contact.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the total length required for your specific project
• Ensure the 16 mm² cross-section meets the load requirements of your circuit
• Check local building codes regarding the use of Eca class cables
• Confirm that the installation environment is compatible with PVC-sheathed cables

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the cable for any physical damage before installation. Ensure that the electrical load does not exceed the rated capacity of the 16 mm² conductors to prevent overheating and ensure system safety.
