Product Description
6242Y Twin and Earth Cable 1.5mm² Grey PVC — 100m Reel
A 100 metre reel of 6242Y twin and earth cable for fixed wiring installations, supplied for site or wholesale use across domestic, commercial and light industrial jobs.
Key specs
- Conductor size: 1.5mm² solid copper, live and neutral
- Earth: bare (uninsulated) copper conductor included alongside live/neutral
- Sheath: grey PVC insulation and outer sheath for mechanical protection
- Format: flat twin and earth profile, 100m reel
- Standard: complies with UK wiring standards for lighting and power circuits
Application notes
1.5mm² cross-section makes this reel suited to lighting circuits, switch wiring and other low-current fixed power runs rather than high-load power circuits. The flat profile routes cleanly through walls, ceilings, trunking and conduit — a practical consideration when specifying for first-fix electrical work.
Specifying for the job
Solid copper conductors keep resistance low and conductivity consistent over long fixed runs, which matters for compliance on lighting and control wiring circuits. The grey PVC sheath gives mechanical protection during installation and in service. Order by the full 100m reel for consistent batch continuity across a project.
