Power cable YKY 0.6/1 kV 2x1 RE YKY-2X1-1KV NYY

Power cable YKY 2x1 for underground and above-ground installations

YKY 2x1 is a reliable solution for transmitting electrical energy in fixed installations, both indoors and outdoors—in cable ducts or directly buried in the ground. Constructed with copper conductors insulated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and protected by an outer PVC sheath, it ensures safe and efficient power transmission. This cable is particularly recommended for powering homes, utility buildings, and outdoor equipment such as garden lighting or driveway gates.

The YKY cable features high durability and resistance to atmospheric conditions, making it an ideal choice for outdoor applications. Its design allows for flexible routing and easy installation, while the copper conductors guarantee low resistance and minimal energy losses. It is a universal cable suitable for both new installations and replacements of existing wiring.

Construction and specifications

The YKY 2x1 cable is designed for durability and safety. The use of copper as the conductive material and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for both insulation and outer sheath ensures resistance to mechanical damage and environmental factors. The conductors are twisted, enhancing flexibility and ease of installation. With a conductor cross-section of 1 mm², it is suitable for medium-power loads, and its rated voltage of 0.6/1 kV allows use in a wide range of electrical installations. The approximate outer diameter is 8.7 mm, and the minimum bending radius during fixed installation is 104.4 mm—these values should be considered when planning the cable route.

The use of PVC for insulation and outer sheathing also provides good resistance to UV radiation, which is critical for outdoor installations. The cable complies with standards BBJ-98/KT-1306, IEC 60502-1:2004, and NZ001-17, confirming its conformity with current safety regulations. Its fire reaction class is Eca, indicating limited flammability in the event of a fire.
