Discussion

Saskia Steur (X) Sep 30, 2004:
I understand what your problem is, but I still think you should call it YMVKAS cable and explain that this is a specific Dutch quality underground cable, otherwise you'd be comparing apples with pears. All texts refer to the non-conformity of these cables
Non-ProZ.com Sep 30, 2004:
That's my problem... Thanks to you all but all those references are Dutch. There is absolutely no reference to YMvKas on any (truly) English web site, so it must be called something else. But what?

YMvKas

Here's an explanation of YMvK:
"YMvK mb ss: deze omschrijving geeft de opbouw en eigenschappen van het isolatiemateriaal van de kabel. (Y) een aderisolatie van XLPE, (MvK) een buitenmantel van PVC “vinyl”, (mb) de kabel heeft moeilijk brandbare eigenschappen, (ss) de geleiders zijn van een klasse 2 standaard met meer dan het minimaal aantal draden per geleider."
http://www.topcable.com/c_actualidad.php?pId=5111
This site explains what the various cable names mean.

Op basis van de omschrijving op de webpagina hierboven moet het Engels denk ik zijn:
XLPE/PVC cable

http://www.olex.com.au/pdf/KnowYourCables_June2003.pdf (Australisch)
voor gebruik van deze benaming.

Ik denk dat Mv staat voor mantel van vinyl (PVC), en Kas misschien gewoon voor \"kabels\"
