What is NYSLYÖ cable?
NYSLYÖ: unscreened PVC control cable, the type of DIN VDE 0250-405 (withdrawn 1997). Rating: U0/U 300/500 V (clause 4). Standard: DIN VDE 0250-405:1981-10, withdrawn 1997-11 (3 to 60 cores, 0,5 to 2,5 mm², the preferred counts 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 18, 25, 34, 50, 61, 5.1 and Table 1 column 4; bare copper fine-wire class 5, the wire at most 0,21 mm to 1 mm² and 0,26 mm at 1,5 and 2,5 mm², 5.2; mean outer diameter limits, Table 1 columns 10 and 11, e.g. 7 x 1,5 mm²: 10,7 to 12,9 mm).
A withdrawn standard (1997-11), the latest and only edition held. The letter reading below this row is the DIN VDE 0250 letter code; this row is the type as the standard defined it.

PVC sheath (YÖ).
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 →

NYSLYÖ: equivalents in other countries
Shown for 4x1.5 300/500 V. Each country's rules are applied to this build, keeping the conductor, section, cores, voltage, screen, armour and sheath.
| Country | Standard | Name in that country | Verdict | Differences |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | EN 50525-2-11 | H05VV-F 4G1,5 300/500 V | Close | Insulation 0.6 → 0.7 mm; Overall diameter 8.63 → 9.11 mm; this cable as built misses 1 of its rules |
| Europe | EN 50525-2-51 | H05VV5-F 4G1,5 300/500 V | Close | Insulation 0.6 → 0.7 mm; Sheath 1 → 0.9 mm; Overall diameter 8.63 → 8.91 mm; this cable as built misses 1 of its rules |
| India | IS 694 | FR FLEXIBLE 4x1,5 1100 V | Close | rated higher: 1100 V (this cable 300/500 V) |
| China | GB/T 9330 | KVVR 4x1.5 450/750 V | Close | rated higher: 450/750 V (this cable 300/500 V); Insulation 0.6 → 0.7 mm; Sheath 1 → 1.2 mm; Overall diameter 8.63 → 9.51 mm |
Nominal values computed by each standard's rules, not manufacturer data. This is not a statement that two cables are interchangeable: the buyer's specification and the maker's type test decide.
NYSLYÖ as the cable designer builds it, 4x1.5 300/500 V
Overall diameter 8.6 mm, about 110 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulation | PVC | 0.60 | 2.7 |
| Sheath | PVC | 1.0 | 8.6 |
NYSLYÖ on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 8.6 mm and about 110 kg/km as the cable designer builds it. Drums as their makers print them; lengths are estimates: whole layers wound nested (each turn in the groove of the layer below), wound diameter 1.05 × OD, 50 mm freeboard under the flange rim. Cable makers' own tables print less, as they count aligned layers.
| Length | Drum size (its makers) | Layers | Gross weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 m | KTG 5 (500 mm flange), plastic KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 14 of 15 | 58–59 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 7 (710 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 16 of 16 | 135–138 kg |
Barrel at least 12 × OD = 104 mm for a cable of this kind (Flexible cable (class 5 or 6 conductor)): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
