This unarmored single-core copper cable complies fully with IEC 60502-1 specifications. Manufactured by Zhongdong Cable, it features plain copper conductors (Class 1 or Class 2 per IEC 60228), XLPE insulation, and a standard PVC outer jacket. Because it lacks metallic armoring, the cable is highly flexible and lightweight, making it easy to pull through tight cable trays, concrete ducts, and underground conduits.

| Voltage | 0.6/1 kV | Sheath | PVC ST2 |
| Cores | 1 Core | Standards | IEC 60502-1 / DIN VDE 0276-603 / BS 7889 |
| Conductor | Plain Copper Class 1 / Class 2 | Cross-Ref | YJV Cable/N2XY |
Conductor: Plain annealed copper, Class 1 (solid) or Class 2 (stranded), complying with IEC 60228. Circular or circular compacted.
Insulation: Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) compound.
Outer Sheath: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound (ST2), typically black.
N2XY single-core cables are engineered engineered for heavy-duty, point-to-point power transmission demanding massive current-carrying capacity. Their single-conductor layout allows superior heat dissipation and prevents mutual heating, ensuring maximum efficiency over long-distance delivery. They are typically laid in spaced open-air racks, underground conduits, or buried trenches with heavy mechanical shielding.
Zhongdong Cable supplies these heavy-duty single-core cables for high-capacity applications:
Main Utility Feeders: Serving as the primary incoming power lines for substations and massive power grids.
Generator Interconnections: Linking heavy power outputs from generators and large transformers.
Industrial Bulk Power: Transporting high-current loads to heavy motor centers and industrial melting furnaces.
High-Load Power Backbones: Running vertical main risers that feed entire electrical systems in super-tall buildings.

Yes, but only in clean sand beds with protective cable tiles or warning tape. Because it has no metallic armor layer to resist vertical pressure or rodent bites, you must run it through a conduit or duct if the installation route faces rocky soil or heavy traffic loads.
It increases current capacity. XLPE allows a continuous conductor operating temperature of 90°C, whereas standard PVC limits it to 70°C. This higher thermal rating lets the same copper conductor size safely carry more load and survive short-circuit temperatures up to 250°C.
The minimum bending radius is 15 times the actual overall diameter (15xD). Adhering to this limit when pulling the cable through trays, bends, or raceways prevents structural stress and protects both the XLPE insulation and the internal copper conductor from mechanical damage.
