What is VO-YMvKas cable?
VO-YMvKas: Dutch braided 0,6/1 kV ground cable, copper conductors in XLPE insulation, a PVC inner sheath, an earth conductor of tinned copper strands under a galvanised steel wire braid, and a grey PVC outer sheath. Rating: 0,6/1 kV, 90 C conductor, test voltage 3,5 kV (TKF). Standard: HD 604 Part 4 Section D (Waskönig); KEMA-KEUR, installed to NEN 1010.
TKF VO-YMvKas Dca 0,6/1 kV (sheet of 20-10-2026): braided power cable for NEN 1010 installations, for direct burial; XLPE insulation; litze: yes; armour: braid (vlechtwerk); PVC sheath; KEMA-KEUR; test voltage 3,5 kV. Waskönig VO-YMvKas Dca: XLPE (VPE) insulated copper conductors, class 1 solid, concentric conductor of steel and copper wires, grey PVC sheath, HD 604 4D. Kabelwerk Eupen VO-YMvKas: solid copper, XLPE insulation, filler, PVC inner sheath, a braid of galvanised steel wires over a layer of tinned copper strands, grey flame-retardant PVC outer sheath. Athilex VO-YMVKAS / VG-YMVKAS: galvanised steel wire braid with a tinned copper earth conductor, sizes printed as 4x6/6, 3x25/16, 4x95/50 (the second number the earth conductor). Letters by NEN 3207 (HD 620 S3 10-J Appendix D, order 4 <- 3 <- 2 <- 1, then 5): V the outer covering (PVC), O the mechanical protection, a braid armour ("O armure en forme de tresse", Cebeo Tome 04 2011 p. 29; "O: Stalen vlechtwerk", Standaardbestek 270 v3.0 1.2.6.1), Y the XLPE insulation, MvK the PVC (inner) sheath, as the earthing screen ("as avec ecran de mise a la terre", Cebeo p. 30); the size "4x25+as16" gives its section (Cebeo p. 31).

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 →
