Power cable YKY 0.6/1kV 5x1.0 RE EM1346

Energy cable YKY 5x1.0 – a reliable cable for electrical installations

The YKY 5x1.0 cable is a universal power cable designed for electrical installations in buildings and structures. Made of copper conductors with a cross-section of 1 mm², it provides safe and efficient power transmission. Although superseded by the YnKY model, this cable is still used in many installations.

Construction and application

The YKY cable is characterized by PVC insulation and an external PVC coating, which ensures its durability and resistance to mechanical damage. The five conductors of the cable make it easy to connect multiple devices simultaneously. This cable is ideal for use in permanent installations, both indoors and outdoors (provided it is protected from the elements). Thanks to the class 1 (solid) conductor, the cable is flexible and easy to install.

Key features and benefits

• Copper conductors: guarantee good electrical conductivity and reliable connections.
• PVC insulation: provides effective protection against electric shock and insulation damage.
• Five conductors: allows connection of more receivers without the need for additional cables.
• Complies with EN 60332-1-2 standard: confirms that the cable is flame retardant, increasing safety.
• Wide operating temperature range: permissible operating temperature from -30°C to +70°C allows use of the cable in various environmental conditions.
• Approximate outer diameter 10.6 mm: facilitates selection of appropriate mounting accessories.
• Protective conductor: additional protection for the electrical installation.

The YKY 5x1.0 cable is a proven choice for professionals and individuals performing electrical installations themselves. Its solid construction and compliance with safety standards guarantee long-lasting and trouble-free operation. However, remember to check the current legal regulations regarding the use of cables in a given type of installation.
