Cable designations compared · How to read a DIN VDE 0271/0276 cable code
N2XSEFH vs NA2XSEH
Both designations are read in DIN VDE 0271/0276. The symbols they share mean the same; the rows marked below are where N2XSEFH and NA2XSEH differ.
N2XSEFH and NA2XSEH differ in: N2XSEFH: F = Flat Galvanized Steel Wire; NA2XSEH: A = Aluminium Conductor.
