What is PFXP cable?
PFXP: PVC-insulated, filler-sheathed, unarmoured, PVC-sheathed installation cable with stranded copper cores, 300/500 V. Rating: 300/500 V, 70 C conductor (Nexans). Standard: NEK 535 (Nexans Norway PFXP 300/500 V).
Nexans Norway (manufacturer): 'PFXP 300/500 V Installation cable with copper conductor', double-insulated, annealed copper, round stranded (7 strands), PVC insulation, PVC filler / inner sheath, white PVC outer sheath, NEK 535, IEC 60332-1-2, 70 C; nominal outer diameters 3G1.5 9.1, 4G1.5 9.8, 5G1.5 10.6, 3G2.5 10.5, 5G2.5 12.4, 3G4 12.0, 5G6 15.6 mm. NEK Kabel 'Typebetegnelser og firebokstavkoden' (modified 5 April 2019, p. 9): 1st letter P 'Polyvinylklorid - PVC' (insulation), 2nd F 'Fyllkappe / baandering', 3rd X 'Ingen armering e.l.', 4th P 'Polyvinylklorid - PVC' (outer sheath). PFXP is a PVC cable, not a halogen-free one: Nexans names PVC for the insulation, the filler and the sheath. No maker read prints the wall thicknesses.
