• Extensively oil resistant, oil-/chemical resistance see table Technical Informations
• The materials used in manufacture are cadmium-free and contain no silicone and free from substances harmful to the wetting properties of lacquers

Tests:
PVC self-extinguishing and flame retardant acc. to DIN VDE 0482-332-1-2, DIN EN 60332-1-2/IEC 60332-1 (equivalent DIN VDE 0472 part 804 test method B)

Note:
• For underground laying use NYY with blue outer sheath.
• AWG sizes are approximate equivalent values. The actual cross-section is in mm².
• Instrumentation cable RE-2Y(St)Yv with blue outer sheath see Data and Computer Cables

Application:
For hazardous areas the cables with special marking (blue) (hazard type-i-) used as flexible control and measuring cables to meet the requirements for the installation of electrical apparatus. These installations are not earthed and require a separate power circuit. Those cables are not suitable for underground laying.
