What is NYSLYCYÖ cable?
NYSLYCYÖ: screened PVC control cable, the type of DIN VDE 0250-405 (withdrawn 1997).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 Standard: DIN VDE 0250-405:1981-10, withdrawn 1997-11 (3 to 60 cores, 0,5 to 2,5 mm², the preferred counts 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 18, 25, 34, 50, 61, 5.1 and Table 1 column 4; bare copper fine-wire class 5, the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: 12,8 to 15,1 mm; core counts Table 1 does not list take their sheaths from Table 2).
A withdrawn standard (1997-11), the latest and only edition held.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.
Documents and pages the readings were taken from
- DIN VDE 0250-405:1981-10 (every page stamped withdrawn 1997-11; clauses 3 to 8 pp. 2 to 3 from the text layer, Tables 1 and 2 pp. 4 to 9 read on page renders)

PVC sheath (Y, 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 →

NYSLYCYÖ: 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 50525-2-51 | H05VVC4V5-K 4G1,5 300/500 V | Close | Insulation 0.6 → 0.7 mm; Sheath 1.2 → 1.1 mm; Overall diameter 11.07 → 11.35 mm; this cable as built misses 1 of its rules |
| China | GB/T 9330 | KVVRP 4x1.5 450/750 V | Close | rated higher: 450/750 V (this cable 300/500 V); Insulation 0.6 → 0.7 mm; Inner covering / bedding material: not in the equivalent; Overall diameter 11.07 → 10.11 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.
NYSLYCYÖ as the cable designer builds it, 4x1.5 300/500 V
Overall diameter 11.1 mm, about 190 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 |
| Inner covering / bedding | PVC | 0.70 | 8.0 |
| Braid (copper wires) | Copper | 0.32 | 8.7 |
| Sheath | PVC | 1.2 | 11.1 |
NYSLYCYÖ on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 11.1 mm and about 190 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 7 (710 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 11 of 12 | 120–123 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 9 (900 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 12 of 17 | 237–241 kg |
Barrel at least 12 × OD = 133 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.
