Cable designations compared · How to read a DIN VDE 0271/0276 cable code
NA2XH vs N2XHFE
Both designations are read in DIN VDE 0271/0276. The symbols they share mean the same; the rows marked below are where NA2XH and N2XHFE differ.
NA2XH and N2XHFE differ in: NA2XH: A = Aluminium Conductor; N2XHFE: FE = Fire Resistant (For Duration Stated Next To This Symbol If Present).
NA2XH
| N | VDE Standard | in both |
| A | Aluminium Conductor | only in NA2XH |
| 2X | Cross Linked Polyethelene (XLPE) | in both |
| H | Low Smoke Zero Halogen Compound | in both |
N2XHFE
| N | VDE Standard | in both |
| 2X | Cross Linked Polyethelene (XLPE) | in both |
| H | Low Smoke Zero Halogen Compound | in both |
| FE | Fire Resistant (For Duration Stated Next To This Symbol If Present) | only in N2XHFE |
