NA2XY combines a Class 2 aluminium conductor, XLPE insulation and a PVC outer sheath. The 0.6/1 kV family covers conventional low-voltage feeders, while the 1.8/3 kV single-core A2XY / (N)A2XY construction extends the same Al/XLPE/PVC platform to higher-voltage buried and photovoltaic power routes.
NA2XY uses XLPE insulation as the electrical and thermal foundation of the 0.6/1 kV feeder. This makes the cable suitable for fixed distribution where larger conductor sizes and sustained loading place greater demands on the insulation system. The value is not simply that the conductor is aluminium; the cable also provides an XLPE-based feeder construction for demanding fixed service.
Aluminium reduces conductor mass and material cost, although a larger cross-section is normally required than for an equivalent copper duty. On long feeders, that trade-off can materially affect cable weight, handling and project economics. Planning the route around NA2XY from the start allows the project to use those benefits while accounting for the resulting diameter, bend radius and support requirements.
Reliable aluminium feeders depend on lugs and terminals designed for the conductor material and cross-section. Correct conductor preparation and torque control are part of the installation system, not optional extras. Selecting the termination hardware together with NA2XY avoids the common problem of choosing an economical aluminium feeder after the equipment has already been arranged around copper connections.
NA2XY-J includes a green/yellow protective conductor, while NA2XY-O does not. Selecting the required construction together with conductor size keeps the feeder core arrangement, gland sizing and terminal space aligned with the project earthing design. Making that decision early reduces late changes to cable diameter, connection hardware and enclosure space.
Designed for Utility solar plants, Commercial distribution, Outdoor feeders and Underground networks.

Yes, this can be reviewed, but aluminium is not normally a size-for-size replacement for copper. Current, route length, voltage drop, installation method, available space and the equipment termination system all need to be checked before an alternative size is proposed.
Yes. Send the exact cable designation and, where possible, the existing datasheet or project specification. We compare conductor material, construction, voltage rating, standards and the requirements that affect the installation before confirming whether an equivalent can be offered.
Send the exact requirement. The website does not represent every possible production combination. We will check whether the construction can be supplied and whether the required standards or certification scope also cover that version before it is quoted.
