NYM 2×2.5 mm² (KH05VV-U 2x2.5) – AB Lietkabelis copper installation cable with solid class 1 conductors, PVC insulation and a white PVC sheath, 300/500 V. For fixed installation inside buildings: in walls, under plaster, in conduits and trunking. Sold by the metre.

2 cores (L, N) without a protective conductor – for special and control circuits only. For sockets and class I appliances choose a 3-core cable.

Product description

Copper installation cable NYM | 2×2.5 mm² no PE | 300/500 V | white | 1 m | Lietkabelis KH05VV-U 2x2.5

NYM 2×2.5 mm² – white copper cable with 2 solid conductors (L, N – no protective PE conductor) for fixed electrical installation inside buildings. Manufacturer – AB Lietkabelis, designation KH05VV-U 2x2.5, rated voltage 300/500 V.

Key point:
A two-core cable is suitable only where no protective conductor is required: control and signalling circuits or class II (double-insulated) equipment. For all ordinary 230 V circuits use 3-core NYM-J.

⚠ This cable has no protective PE conductor. Not for sockets or class I (metal-cased) appliances – use 3-core NYM-J for those.

Number of cores
2 (L, N)

Cross-section
2.5 mm²

Typical protection
B16 circuit breaker

Installation
Indoors

How 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: L, N – no protective PE conductor.

Solid 2.5 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 (B16) and length (up to ≈ 25 m at 16 A), the circuit runs for years without overheating and the voltage drop stays within 3 %.

Why choose NYM 2×2.5 mm²?
It is a simple, reliable solution for a circuit where single-phase 230 V circuit without PE 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.

⚠ Check: values are indicative. Grouped cables, cables in thermal insulation or at higher temperatures have a lower rating. Protection follows I_B ≤ I_n ≤ I_z; the final decision rests with the electrical design.

Key functions

Power transmission – single-phase 230 V circuit without PE up to ~3.7 kW with B16 protection.
Solid class 1 conductors – reliable contact in screw and push-in terminals.
Colour-coded cores – L, N – no protective PE conductor, faster and safer connection.
PVC insulation and sheath – double protection for indoor installation.
Sold by the metre – less waste and a more accurate estimate.

How does it differ from similar cables?

NYM 2×1.5 mm² – smaller cross-section – about 16.5–19.5 A, for lighter loads or shorter runs.
NYM 2×4 mm² – larger cross-section – about 30–36 A, for longer runs or higher loads.
CYKY-L cable – black, also for outdoor and underground use with protection; NYM-J is for indoor use only.

Where is it used?

Control circuits – push buttons, switches, relay coils.
Signalling lines – bells, indication.
Class II equipment – where the manufacturer does not require PE.
Repairs of existing installations – replacing the same 2-core cable in a control circuit.

Use by need

Automation installer.
Control circuits from the board to push buttons and relays without an unnecessary PE core.

Alarm and signalling installer.
Bell and indication lines with a neat white cable.

Repair technician.
Replacing existing 2-core control wiring with the same type.

Practical example

For example, a control circuit has to be run from the board to a fan control button. No protective conductor is needed here, so NYM 2×2.5 mm² is sufficient. If there will be a socket in the same place, choose a 3-core cable.

Pros

Solid copper conductors – hold their shape and terminate reliably.
White sheath – neat appearance for surface installation.
Made by Lietkabelis – established Lithuanian manufacturer with clear technical data.
Sold by the metre – pay only for the length you need.

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.
2×2.5 is not a single 5 mm² conductor.
The cable is not chosen by the breaker alone – installation method and circuit length are checked too.

Quick selection guide

Choose NYM 2×2.5 mm² only for control and special circuits where PE is not required.

2 × 2.5 mm²

300/500 V

B16

Indoors

Suitable when you need:

a control or signalling circuit;
supply to class II equipment without PE;
an indoor cable.

Check before ordering:

that the load and breaker match the 2×2.5 mm² cross-section;
that the circuit is no longer than ≈ 25 m at 16 A load;
that the cable will be installed indoors;
that you order enough length for connection.

Important reminder: The 2×2.5 mm² designation alone does not define the maximum current or power. Choose the cable by load, installation method, circuit length and protective device.

FAQ – frequently asked questions

What is the difference between NYM-J and KH05VV-U?
It is the same cable type: NYM-J is the common designation, KH05VV-U is the Lietkabelis product designation.

Does 2×2.5 mean a total cross-section of 5 mm²?
No. These are 2 separate 2.5 mm² cores.

Can it be laid outdoors or underground?
No. NYM-J is for indoor use; outdoors and underground choose CYKY-L, underground with mechanical protection and warning tape.

Do you sell by the metre?
Yes, the sales unit is 1 metre; for project quantities we prepare a quotation.

Why is this cable not suitable for sockets?
It has no PE core, so a metal appliance housing would remain unearthed.

Which circuit breaker should I choose?
Usually B16; finally by load, installation method and circuit length (I_B ≤ I_n ≤ I_z).

What to choose: copper or aluminum conductor?

Single-core wires are also called monolithic wires,
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.
