What is VG-YMvKas cable?
VG-YMvKas: Dutch armoured 0,6/1 kV ground cable, copper conductors in XLPE insulation, a PVC inner sheath, one concentric layer of steel armour wires and copper earth wires (as), and a grey PVC outer sheath. Rating: 0,6/1 kV, 90 C conductor, 250 C short circuit (Waskönig). Standard: HD 604 Part 4 Section D (Waskönig, "based upon").
Waskönig VG-YMvKas Dca: "VPE-isoliert mit Cu-Leitern und konz. Leiter aus Stahl- u. Cu-Drähten" (XLPE insulated, copper conductors, a concentric conductor of steel and copper wires), grey PVC sheath, 0,6/1 kV, based upon HD 604 4D, sizes 3x10 (class 2) to 4x240 (sector from 35 mm2). VG-YMvKhas adds auxiliary cores (h, Cebeo p. 30: "h avec conducteur(s) auxiliaire(s)"). The steel and copper wires lie in one layer; the drawing puts the copper earth wires under the steel ones.

NEN / KEMA type names (Netherlands): how to read the cable type names
Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (V).
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 →
