Cable designations compared · How to read a DIN VDE 0271/0276 cable code
N2XRH vs N2XRY
Both designations are read in DIN VDE 0271/0276. The symbols they share mean the same; the rows marked below are where N2XRH and N2XRY differ.
N2XRH and N2XRY differ in: N2XRH: H = Low Smoke Zero Halogen Compound; N2XRY: Y = Polyvynil Chloride (PVC).
N2XRH
| N | VDE Standard | in both |
| 2X | Cross Linked Polyethelene (XLPE) | in both |
| R | Round Steel Wire | in both |
| H | Low Smoke Zero Halogen Compound | only in N2XRH |
N2XRY
| N | VDE Standard | in both |
| 2X | Cross Linked Polyethelene (XLPE) | in both |
| R | Round Steel Wire | in both |
| Y | Polyvynil Chloride (PVC) | only in N2XRY |
