How to read a DIN VDE 0271/0276 power cables (Germany) cable code
Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (Y).
Typically targeted, as declared by makers for this kind of construction in the examples this site checked (not the class of this cable):
EcaN1XV-R, Ahlsell (seller)Cca-s3,d1,a3FG16OR16, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)EcaU1000 R2V, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)EcaN2XSY, Waskönig+Walter (10 kV datasheet)
Listed as sources, alphabetically by maker. No maker pays to appear here.
A CPR class is declared by the maker in its Declaration of Performance and printed on the sheath (EN 50575 cl 7). This decoder does not assign one. What the CPR classes mean →

A2XSYR(A) as the cable designer builds it, 1x95/16 12/20 kV
Overall diameter 37.5 mm, about 2,470 kg/km. Nominal values from the standard's tables for this size, computed, not a maker's data.
| Layer | Material | Thickness, mm | Over the layer, mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conductor screen (semicon) | Semiconducting | 0.60 | 12.7 |
| Insulation | XLPE | 5.5 | 23.7 |
| Insulation screen (semicon) | Semiconducting | 0.80 | 25.3 |
| Wire screen | Copper | 42 × 0.70 | 26.9 |
| Sheath | PVC | 1.2 | 29.3 |
| Wire armour | Steel | 47 × 2.00 | 33.3 |
| Sheath | PVC | 2.1 | 37.5 |
A2XSYR(A) on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 37.5 mm and about 2,470 kg/km as the cable designer builds it. Drums as their makers print them; lengths are estimates within a few per cent of the cable makers' own tables: whole layers, wound diameter 1.05 × OD, 50 mm freeboard under the flange rim.
| Length | Drum size (its makers) | Layers | Gross weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 m | KTG 18 (1800 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 7 of 8 | 1,576–1,648 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 20 (2000 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 8 of 8 | 2,949–3,070 kg |
Barrel at least 25 × OD = 938 mm for a cable of this kind (Medium voltage, single core): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
