Fire behaviour (EU CPR)

PVC sheath (PVC).
Typically targeted, as declared by makers for this kind of construction in the examples this site checked (not the class of this cable):
- Eca N1XV-R, Ahlsell (seller)
- Cca-s3,d1,a3 FG16OR16, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)
- Eca U1000 R2V, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)
- Eca N2XSY, 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 →

AL XLPE-PVC 0.6/1.0kV 1x300mm2 as the cable designer builds it, 1x300 0.6/1 kV

Overall diameter 27.9 mm, about 1,160 kg/km. Nominal values from the standard's tables for this size, computed, not a maker's data.

AL XLPE-PVC 0.6/1.0kV 1x300mm2 on a drum

The smallest drum that passes every check, for 27.9 mm and about 1,160 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 14 (1400 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG	8 of 10	755–779 kg
1,000 m	KTG 16 (1600 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG	11 of 11	1,436–1,469 kg

Barrel at least 20 × OD = 557 mm for a cable of this kind (Low voltage, single core): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
