IndoorsHow it works
The cable is installed permanently: in walls, under plaster, in conduits or trunking from the board to the load. Cores are connected by colour: L1, L2, L3, N, PE.
Solid 10 mm² copper conductors carry the current, while PVC insulation and the white sheath protect them mechanically and electrically. The continuous conductor temperature is up to +70 °C, so the current rating depends on how well the cable dissipates heat.
With the right protection (40 A) and length (up to ≈ 75 m at 40 A), the circuit runs for years without overheating and the voltage drop stays within 3 %.
Why choose NYM-J 5×10 mm²?
It is a simple, reliable solution for a circuit where three-phase 400 V with neutral is needed: solid conductors are easy to terminate, the white sheath looks neat on surfaces, and you buy exactly as many metres as you need.Technical data

Cons / limitations
- Not for direct burial or unprotected outdoor use – choose CYKY-L for that.
- Not for portable equipment – solid conductors are not made for repeated flexing.
- PVC insulation – where halogen-free cables are required, choose NHXMH-J.
Safety and installation notes
- Before work, isolate the supply, secure it against switching on and verify that no voltage is present.
- Run cables in walls vertically and horizontally – so they aren't drilled later.
- Strip cores with a proper tool without nicking the copper.
- Before energising a new circuit, measuring insulation resistance is recommended.
- Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
- 5×10 is not a single 50 mm² conductor.
- The cable is not chosen by the breaker alone – installation method and circuit length are checked too.

while multi-core wires are flexible wires.Wires usually have a single conductor covered with an insulating layer.
Cables have several insulated wires, covered with a common sheath.
Conductor properties of wires:
The resistance of copper conductors is lower (0.017Ω) than that of aluminum (0.028Ω),
but copper has better conductivity.
Copper has better electrical and thermal conductivity than aluminum.
Copper wires are more flexible, more resistant to corrosion, and more durable.
Aluminum wires quickly oxidize upon contact with air, forming a film that weakens the contact.
Copper wires carry higher currents than aluminum wires.
Copper conductors are denser than aluminum. Therefore, copper wire is heavier.The cross-sectional area of wires is chosen according to the power of specific equipment,
for example: for a 1kW load, a 1.57 mm² cross-sectional area of the conductor is required.
For aluminum wires: 5A per 1mm², and for copper wires: 8A per 1mm².The NYM-J/O installation cable is one of the widely used electrical cables for electrical installations in residential and commercial buildings. The name NYM refers to a specific type of construction that is designed for indoor electrical installations and, in some cases, outdoor applications.
Main features:
NYM-J – this is a cable with a grounding conductor (yellow-green), used in standard installations where grounding protection is necessary.
NYM-O – a cable without a grounding conductor, used where grounding is not required (e.g., in some lighting installations).
Advantages:Double insulation – NYM cables have PVC insulation with an additional outer layer, providing better protection against mechanical damage and moisture.
Fire resistance – these cables can be resistant to certain fire spread conditions, ensuring greater safety in emergency situations.
Flexibility – NYM cables are quite flexible, making them convenient for installation in both hidden and exposed installations.
Indoor and partial outdoor use – NYM cables are mostly used indoors, but in certain cases, they can also be used outdoors as long as they are not exposed to direct sunlight.
Disadvantages:UV sensitivity – NYM cables are not resistant to direct sunlight, so prolonged outdoor use may damage the insulation.
Not suitable for underground use – although NYM cables can be used outdoors, they are not suitable for direct burial in the ground without additional protection.
Limited thermal insulation – the cable is not suitable for installation in environments with extremely high temperatures.
Applications:Indoor electrical installations: commonly used in household electrical installations, such as in residential homes and offices.
Installation of light fixtures, outlets, and switches: NYM-J is particularly suitable for lighting and other electrical equipment installations where grounding is required.
Outdoor installations with protection: can be used outdoors but must be protected from UV radiation and mechanical damage.
Comparison with other cables:NYM vs CYKY: The CYKY cable is more suitable for outdoor installations as it has thicker insulation and better resistance to environmental impact. It can also be used underground. However, NYM cables are cheaper and more flexible, making them better suited for indoor installations.
NYM vs H07V-K: The H07V-K is a more flexible cable, typically used in industry or complex installations where high flexibility is needed. NYM is more convenient for household electrical installations.
Summary: The NYM-J/O cables are popular and widely used in electrical installations due to their versatility, ease of installation, and durability in indoor environments.The NYM-J/O type cable is round, solid, and designed for both industrial and household applications. It is intended for installation in dry and damp areas and can be laid under plaster or concrete. Due to its design and construction, the cable provides reliable protection against environmental factors in indoor conditions.
The cable is not UV-resistant, so when installing it outdoors, protection from direct sunlight is required. This can be achieved by using a black corrugated pipe that protects from UV exposure and mechanical damage. To make it easier to pull the cable through the pipe, it is recommended to use a special gel lubricant or cable-pulling tool.
Key Features:
Use: Industrial and household installations.
Installation: In dry and damp areas, under plaster and concrete.
UV protection: Requires additional protection when installed outdoors.
Suitable choice for ensuring a safe and reliable electrical installation indoors, such as by inserting it into a black corrugated pipe for easier cable routing, using gel lubricant or a cable-pulling tool.This product is marked with the CE label, which confirms that it complies with all applicable European Union directives and regulations.
