Product Overview

1-AYKY Cable is a 0.6/1kV unarmored power cable with aluminum conductor, PVC insulation, and PVC sheath, manufactured to the Polish national standard PNE 34 7659-3 and the CENELEC harmonization document HD 603 S1. Naming: A = aluminium, Y = PVC insulation, K = cable, Y = PVC sheath; the "1-" prefix designates the standard grade according to Polish designation rules. AYKY is the aluminum-conductor variant of the widely used YKY (copper) cable family, and the Polish counterpart to Russia's AVVG and Germany's NAYY — all share the same Al/PVC/PVC construction under different national standards.

Applicable Standards

Standard	Scope
PNE 34 7659-3	Polish national standard for PVC insulated and sheathed power cables 0.6/1kV. Primary standard for AYKY designation.
HD 603 S1	CENELEC Harmonization Document — base document for national standards across EU/EEA.
EN 60228 / IEC 60228	Conductor specification — Class 1 (RE, solid) and Class 2 (RM/SM, stranded) for both aluminum and copper.
HD 308 S2	Core identification color coding for CENELEC countries.
EN 50265-2-1 / IEC 60332-1	Flame retardant test — single cable vertical flame propagation.

AYKY vs YAKY: Both denote the same aluminum/PVC/PVC cable. The designation "1-AYKY" follows the PNE standard prefix convention; some older specifications use "YAKY" without the prefix. When quoting, confirm the exact designation in the customer's project specification — both refer to the same cable per PNE 34 7659-3.

Core Identification (HD 308 S2)

Cores	Standard Colors
3-core	Green/yellow — Brown — Blue
4-core	Green/yellow — Brown — Black — Grey
5-core	Green/yellow — Blue — Brown — Black — Grey

Technical Specifications

RE = round solid conductor (Class 1). RM = round stranded (Class 2). SM = sector-shaped compacted stranded (Class 2). Metal weight = aluminum conductor weight only (excludes insulation, bedding, and sheath).

Conductor type note: RE = solid aluminum (round). SM = sector-shaped compacted stranded — provides the most compact outer diameter for a given cross-section, reducing cable weight and sheathing material. For multi-core cables ≥50mm², SM conductor is recommended for ease of installation and reduced cable diameter.
