Cable designations compared · How to read a DIN VDE 0271/0276 cable code
(N)A2XS(FL)2Y vs (N)A2X2Y
Both designations are read in DIN VDE 0271/0276. The symbols they share mean the same; the rows marked below are where (N)A2XS(FL)2Y and (N)A2X2Y differ.
(N)A2XS(FL)2Y and (N)A2X2Y differ in: (N)A2XS(FL)2Y: S = Copper Screen Of Tape, Round Or Profile-Wires Over Twisted Cores; (N)A2XS(FL)2Y: (FL) = Longitudinal & Radial Water Resistant Tape.
