Power cable YKXS 0.6/1 kV 5x4 RE YKXS-5X4-1KV

Power cable YKXS 5x4 RE – reliability and safety in every installation

The YKXS 5x4 RE cable is a robust solution for power transmission in conditions requiring mechanical resistance and protection against external factors. Designed for both professionals and residential applications, this cable ensures safe and efficient operation of electrical installations. Constructed with copper conductors, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, and a PVC outer sheath, it guarantees long-term durability and reliability.

Construction and applications

The YKXS 5x4 RE cable consists of five copper conductors, each with a cross-section of 4 mm², enabling the transmission of sufficient power. The conductors are twisted, enhancing cable flexibility and simplifying installation. The absence of armor makes the cable lighter and easier to route, while still maintaining adequate mechanical strength. It is suitable for:

• Fixed installations indoors and outdoors (provided protection from UV radiation is ensured).
• Power supply cables for electrical equipment.
• Power distribution in distribution networks.
• Residential, commercial, and industrial construction.
• Lighting systems.

Key features and benefits

• Durable construction: Copper conductors provide excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Safety: XLPE insulation ensures high dielectric strength and safe operation. Fire reaction class Eca minimizes the risk of flame spread in case of fire.
• Flexibility: Twisted conductors facilitate installation and routing, even in confined spaces.
• Wide temperature range: Maximum conductor operating temperature of 90°C allows use in diverse environmental conditions.
• Mechanical resistance: The PVC outer sheath protects the cable against mechanical damage and atmospheric influences.
• Conductor identification: Color-coded conductors simplify correct connection during installation.
• Compliance with standards: The cable meets requirements of EN 60332-1-2 standard regarding flame propagation resistance.

Thanks to these features, the YKXS 5x4 RE cable offers an optimal solution for a wide range of applications, ensuring reliable and safe power transmission over many years of service. The minimum bending radius of 171.6 mm should be considered when designing the cable route to prevent damage.
