NSGAFÖU Cable for Switchgear and Railway Equipment
NSGAFÖU is a 1.8/3 kV single-core flexible rubber cable used for protected wiring in switchboards, electrical devices, railway vehicles and buses. The designation is also searched as NSGAFOU or NSGAFOEU, so this page keeps the correct NSGAFÖU spelling while covering the common ASCII variants.
Use this cable when the installation needs a flexible, insulated single conductor and the route is dry, enclosed or otherwise mechanically protected. The 1.8/3 kV rating is a cable designation; short-circuit-proof or earth-fault-proof use depends on the complete installation, protection and applicable local rules.
- Best fit: control cabinets, switchgear, device wiring, rail vehicles and buses.
- Confirm before ordering: conductor size, bend radius, temperature, oil exposure, marking and required VDE or project evidence.
- Do not assume: outdoor, wet, direct-burial or unprotected routing approval from the model name alone.
Review the Industrial Cable category for related rubber cables. For a quotation, send the conductor size, route, installation voltage and documentation requirement.
Procurement note: identify the vehicle or switchgear family and the required marking so the supplier can align the quoted build and test file.
Construction
The NSGAFÖU reference construction is a single-core rubber-insulated cable with a protective outer sheath.
| Layer | Reference construction |
|---|---|
| Conductor | Class 5 fine-stranded tinned copper |
| Insulation | EPR rubber compound, 3GI3 reference |
| Outer sheath | Chlorinated rubber compound, 5GM5 reference; black commonly supplied |
| Form | Single core for enclosed or protected routing |
Final conductor cross-section, sheath thickness, outside diameter, marking and colour must be confirmed for the quoted size.
Applications
- Switchboards, switchgear and power-distribution equipment
- Control cabinets, machines and electrical devices
- Railway vehicles and buses
- Ducts, tubes, conduits and closed installation channels
- Bundled or movable-part connections where the installation is protected
Type-reference literature describes short-circuit-proof use in selected switching and distribution arrangements up to 1,000 V. The complete installation, protection and local code must control that decision. For general flexible portable power, compare H07RN-F cable.

Standards
- VDE 0250 Part 602 reference for the NSGAFÖU cable type.
- IEC 60332-1-2 / VDE 0482-332-1-2 flame-propagation test reference where specified.
- Destination-market VDE, railway, vehicle or switchgear documentation must be stated in the RFQ.
Standards and test references are not a blanket certificate for every size. Request the exact declaration, test report or approval documentation required for the project.
