TFXP
TFXP is a Norsk typebetegnelse (Norway) cable designation: T = 1st letter, insulation: cross-linked polyethylene, PEX ('T=Pexisolert'; Kabelboka: 'Tverrbundet polyetylen - PEX'); F = 2nd letter, bedding or filler sheath ('F=Fyllkappe'; Kabelboka: 'Fyllkappe/ båndering'); X = 3rd letter: no armour or screen ('X=Ingen armering/skjerm'; Kabelboka: 'Ingen armering e.l.'); P = 4th letter, outer sheath: PVC ('P=PVC-ytterkappe'); TFXP = TFXP: PEX-insulated, filler-sheathed, unarmoured, PVC-sheathed power and installation cable; the NEK Kabel MR Flex type has a flexible copper conductor, the A / AL type (separate entry) an aluminium one. 0,6/1 kV (NEK Kabel: 'Driftsspenning 0,6/1 [kV]', test 3,5 kV), 90 C conductor. HD 604-5D / HD 603-1 / IEC 60502-1 (NEK Kabel MR Flex sheet p. 5); HD 603-5M and NEK 536 (Nexans Kabelboka p. 13, 14).

Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (P).
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 →

TFXP: equivalents in other countries
Shown for 4x95 0.6/1 kV. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Germany | HD 603 5-G (DIN VDE 0276-603) | N2XY 4x95 RM 0,6/1 kV | Equivalent | every value the same |
No equivalent in: BS 5467 (armoured cables only); BS 6724 (armoured cables only, asks another sheath compound); BS 7846 (armoured cables only, asks another sheath compound).
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.
