NYY unarmoured 1kV power cable, single/m’core

NYY unarmoured 1kV power single or multicore cables have an especially tough sheath and are designed for fixed power and control use, primarily in industrial applications. Also known as NYY-J (including earth) and NYY-O (without earth) they can be used as an alternative to the old Delta Hi-tuf cables. 

Suitable for installation indoors, outdoors, in ducts, in water or underground where armour is not required.
