Prysmian 6242Y Twin and Earth Cable 2.5mm² Grey PVC 100m Reel

Prysmian 6242Y 2.5mm² Twin and Earth is a flat, PVC insulated and sheathed low voltage wiring cable designed for fixed installation in domestic, commercial and light industrial environments. It comprises two 2.5mm² plain annealed class 1 solid copper conductors, colour coded brown (line) and blue (neutral), laid flat with an uninsulated bare copper circuit protective conductor (CPC), all enclosed in a grey PVC outer sheath. This construction follows the Prysmian twin and earth design detailed under BS6004 and BS EN 60228, providing robust mechanical strength and ease of stripping during first fix and termination. Rated at 300/500V with a maximum operating temperature of 70°C, the 2.5mm² size is typically used for small power ring and radial circuits in dwellings and commercial premises, for example socket outlet circuits, fused spurs feeding local loads, or small power supplies in plant rooms. The cable is suitable for installation on walls, boards and trays, in cable channels or trunking, or embedded directly in plaster where an earth continuity conductor is required, and can also be installed in conduit where additional mechanical protection is necessary. The flat profile assists with neat routing and clipping, while the solid conductors provide stable electrical characteristics over the 100m run. As a BASEC approved Prysmian product, this 6242Y cable offers consistent manufacturing quality with good stripping performance and insulation integrity, making it a common choice where a branded twin and earth is specified by consultants or clients. Supplied on a 100m boxed reel, it is convenient for transport, storage and on-site dispensing, integrating easily into general wiring, containment, and distribution board terminations in structured electrical and security infrastructure.
