YMvKas


Explanation:
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\"
