About:

The NYM-J/-O Eca solid bare copper unshielded PVC 300/500V installation cable is a type of electrical cable that is widely used in Europe, particularly in Germany. The "NYM" denotes a specific kind of cable that is designed for fixed installation inside buildings. The "J" usually indicates that the cable contains a green/yellow grounding wire, while "O" would indicate the absence of such a wire. The "Eca" classification refers to the Euroclass system of fire performance according to the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), where "Eca" indicates a certain minimum performance in the event of fire.

Also Known As:

• NYM-J or NYM-O installation cable
• PVC insulated installation cable
• Building wire
• Solid copper conductor cable
• Fixed wiring electrical cable

Application:

• Lightweight power cable U 0 /U 300/500V for low-voltage installations for single connections in residential construction, stables, etc.
• Can be used for fixed connections of lighting, wall sockets, small motors, etc
• NYM-J with green/yellow wire and NYM-O without.

Standards:

• Generally designed according to VDE specifications (Verband der Elektrotechnik, Germany's Electrical Engineering Association).
• Fire performance in accordance with Euroclass Eca standards under the CPR for construction products.
• Rated for 300/500V, indicating its suitability for medium voltage applications in accordance with European standards.

Construction:

• Conductor: Bare copper, ≤ 6mm ² : Solid, ≥10mm ² :Stranded
• Insulation: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
• Veins: Folded together and filled into a round whole
• Inner Jacket: n/a
• Braiding: n/a
• Outer Sheath: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Features:

• Flame retardant properties as indicated by the "Eca" classification.
• The robust construction makes the cable suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions within buildings.
• Available in various conductor sizes and numbers, allowing for flexibility in application depending on the current-carrying capacity required.
• The cable's rigid structure due to the solid conductors provides a stable installation but with less flexibility compared to stranded conductor cables.
• Often has a color-coded insulation for easy identification of the conductors (with the J variant including a green/yellow earth wire).
