APPLICATION

BURY CABLE N2XH is a 0.6/1kV copper power cable for fixed distribution in industrial buildings, public facilities, hotels, hospitals and metro systems. XLPE insulation, LSOH filler and a thermoplastic polyolefin jacket suit installations with specified low smoke and halogen free requirements. Use it on protected routes in dry or wet locations, including suitable outdoor routes; this construction is not intended for direct burial in earth or immersion in water.

KEY FEATURES

  • Class 1 solid or Class 2 stranded plain copper conductors with XLPE type 2XI1 insulation.

  • LSOH filler and HM4 polyolefin outer jacket; colour-coded cores include green/yellow identification for the listed constructions of three conductors and above.

  • Unarmoured N2XH construction for fixed installation. The N2XCH variant in the technical description adds a concentric copper conductor.

SELECTION NOTES

  • Specify core count, conductor cross-section and class, circuit load, route length and required core identification.

  • Plan the route around the stated minimum bending radius of 12 times overall diameter and the product-specific handling and fixed-installation temperature ranges.

  • Select smoke, halogen and flame-propagation requirements as part of the project specification. Circuit-integrity requirements call for a separately specified fire resistant cable.

FAQ

Where is N2XH cable used?

N2XH serves fixed low voltage distribution in buildings and transport facilities where an XLPE insulated, halogen free cable is specified.

What materials form the N2XH cable?

Plain copper conductors, XLPE insulation, LSOH filler and a thermoplastic polyolefin outer jacket form the listed construction.

How does N2XH differ from N2XY?

N2XH uses an LSZH polyolefin jacket and LSOH filler. N2XY uses a PVC jacket and PVC filler.

What is the N2XCH variant?

N2XCH adds a concentric conductor made of plain copper wires with transverse copper tape, as described in the construction table.

Which installation routes suit N2XH?

Protected trays, ducts and other fixed routes in dry or wet locations suit the cable. Keep this construction out of direct earth burial and permanent immersion.
