Structure and material quality

The NI2XY-J 5x2.5 mm² cable consists of five solid, single-wire copper conductors for reliable current transmission and high mechanical stability. The cores are stranded in layers and have PVC core insulation as well as additional XLPE insulation (2XI1) for increased thermal resilience. A rubber-containing filling compound stabilises the core layer. The resistant PVC outer sheath in dark grey reliably protects the cable against mechanical stresses.

Areas of application

• Fixed installation on, in and under plaster
• Installations in dry and damp rooms
• Laying outdoors with suitable protective measures
• Direct laying in concrete in accordance with DIN VDE 0262
• Three-phase installations (e.g. 400 V applications)
• Connection of motors, machines or distribution boxes
• Control and supply lines with several active conductors

Note: Not suitable for direct burial.
