Product Highlights

Concentric Copper Function

NYCY places copper wires and tape concentrically around the insulated cable core, providing an additional metallic conductor within the same cable construction. Where the network design calls for that conductor function, the concentric layer can be specified together with the main cores rather than added as a separate parallel cable. Its cross-section remains part of the electrical design.

Single-Cable Service Design

Combining the main insulated cores and the concentric copper layer inside one outer sheath can simplify service entrances and fixed distribution feeders. Fewer separate cable runs mean less route coordination and fewer independent components to manage along the same path. The benefit is most useful where the network design already requires the concentric conductor as part of the feeder.

Concentric Termination Planning

The concentric copper layer must be treated as an intentional part of the termination, not as spare metallic material around the cable. Its cross-section, breakout and connection arrangement should be considered together with the main cores, gland and enclosure space. Planning this before installation reduces improvised treatment of the concentric wires at service entrances and distribution equipment.

Can you check an equivalent cable from another manufacturer?

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.

What if the required size, core count or construction is not shown on the website?

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.
