Power cable Śląsk YKY 2x2.5 mm² 0.6/1 kV — underground electrical cable on reel

Śląsk YKY 2x2.5 mm² 0.6/1 kV is a YKY-type underground power cable supplied on a reel for fixed installations. The cable contains two 2.5 mm² copper conductors with PVC insulation and an outer PVC sheath, rated for 0.6/1 kV. It is designed for installation in ducts, cable trenches or direct burial where a PVC-insulated and sheathed power cable is required. The construction supports domestic and light industrial power distribution and branch circuits, offering a compact solution for delivering single-phase or two-conductor circuits in underground applications.

Advantages

The cable’s PVC insulation and sheath provide mechanical protection and resistance to common soil conditions while maintaining flexibility for handling during installation. Two equal-sized conductors simplify wiring for single-phase or two-conductor circuits without excess bulk. Supply on a reel facilitates measured deployment and reduces on-site joints. Rated for 0.6/1 kV, the cable meets typical low-voltage distribution needs for residential and light commercial installations.

Suitable for

• Underground fixed installations in ducts and conduits
• Direct burial in cable trenches for service lines
• Domestic power distribution and branch circuits
• Light industrial or workshop power feed where PVC-sheathed cable is acceptable
• Replacement or extension of existing two-conductor low-voltage runs

Key specifications

• Conductor count and size: 2 × 2.5 mm² copper conductors
• Voltage rating: 0.6/1 kV (600/1000 V)
• Insulation material: PVC
• Outer sheath: PVC
• Delivery form: on a reel for measured installation
• Intended use: fixed underground installation, ducts, trenches, direct burial

How to use

Plan the route in ducts or trenches ensuring correct depth and separation from other services according to local regulations. Unwind the cable from the reel and avoid sharp bends or kinks; respect the manufacturer’s minimum bending radius. Prepare conductor ends by stripping PVC insulation to reveal the bare copper and make connections in appropriate junction boxes or terminal blocks rated for the voltage. Where direct burial is used, place protective bedding and warning tape as required by local codes. Ensure earthing and protective devices are correctly installed and coordinated with circuit requirements.

Usage recommendations

Verify local electrical regulations and soil conditions before installation. Use appropriate cable markers and mechanical protection where exposed. For long runs, calculate voltage drop and choose protective devices and conductor sizes accordingly. For any uncertainty, consult a qualified electrician.
