Chinese cable designations look cryptic but follow a highly systematic code.
Decoding one type
Take YJV22-0.6/1kV 3×120+1×70:
- YJ = XLPE insulation (Y = polyethylene, J = cross-linked)
- V = PVC sheath
- 22 = steel-tape armour + PVC outer sheath
- 0.6/1kV = rated voltage
- 3×120+1×70 = three 120 mm² phase cores + one 70 mm² neutral
Common series at a glance
- B series (BV / BLVV / BVR): building wire — B = wiring, L = aluminium conductor, R = flexible conductor
- YJ series (YJV / YJLV): XLPE power cable
- JK series (JKLYJ / JKLGYJ): aerial insulated conductor — G = steel-cored
- BTT series (BTTZ / BTTQ): mineral-insulated cable — Z = heavy duty, Q = light duty
When you inquire
Give us type + voltage class + core configuration + length + governing standard (GB or IEC) and we can quote precisely within 24 hours. If you only have local specifications (NF C, BS, SANS…), our engineers will do the cross-reference for you.
