German Standard Industrial Cable NYM-J / NYM-O
Product Overview
The NYM-J and NYM-O are German standard industrial cables suitable for industrial and home applications. They are designed for dry, moist, and wet open areas as well as under plaster, walling, and concrete. However, it is not recommended to lay the cable into compacted concrete. Outer application is permitted only in the case that the cable is not exposed to direct sunlight.
The cables feature solid or stranded plain copper conductors, PVC TI1 insulation, and a high flexible PVC outer jacket type TM1. They are manufactured to DIN VDE 0250, VDE 0482-332-1-2, DIN EN 60332-1-2 / IEC 60332-1, and comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC. They are also ROHS compliant.
