How to read a NBN (Belgian national cable names, ...B types) cable code
VCT-G as the cable designer builds it, 3x1.5 300/500 V
Overall diameter 8.1 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 | 0.70 | 2.9 |
| Filler | PVC | 6.3 | |
| Sheath | PVC | 0.90 | 8.1 |
VCT-G on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 8.1 mm and about 110 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 5 (500 mm flange), plastic KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 13 of 14 | 58–59 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 8 (800 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 14 of 17 | 141–145 kg |
Barrel at least 12 × OD = 98 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.
