N2XRY is a PVC insulated and sheathed cable, comparable to the British standard cable BS5467. The N2XRH cable uses Low Smoke Zero Halogen compounds (also known as HFFR – halogen free flame retardant) and is comparable to the BS6724 cable.
These cables are the copper conductor equivalent of the NA2XRH and NA2XRY cables, delivering a voltage rating of 0.6/1kV (600V/1000V) and a maximum temperature rating of 90oC.
The addition of SWA armouring allows for these cables to be direct buried in the ground without additional protection, protecting them from mechanical stresses and the risk of damage from external forces. The black outer sheath offers UV protection in keeping with their use outdoors.
- Application: European name of the BS5467 cable. Multi-core PVC cable with steel wire armour (SWA). Power and auxiliary control cables for use in power networks, underground, outdoor and indoor applications and for use in cable ducting.
- Suitability: For underground (direct buried), outdoor and internal applications. LSZH sheathing for where fire, smoke emission and toxic fumes create a potential threat to life and equipment.
- Standards & Voltage Rating:BS 5467, IEC/EN 60502-1, IEC/EN 60228 Flame Retardant according to IEC/EN 60332-1-2

- Details: Multicore cable (AWA single core available on request). Provides protection from mechanical stresses. N2XRY is generally to British standard cable BS5467 and N2XRH is generally to BS6724. CPR compliant. UV resistant. Technical support provided.
LSZH cable provides additional protection in the event of a fire, emitting none of the harmful halogen gases such as chlorine gas and emits reduced levels of the dense black smoke compare to PVC sheathed cables. As a result, the N2XRH cable is widely used in public buildings, tall constructions, as well as in refineries, automation plants and data centres – application where smoke emissions and toxic fumes could pose a risk to human health and sensitive equipment in the event of a fire.
