Product Description
Prysmian 6242Y 2.5mm² Twin & Earth, grey, 1m cut length
Prysmian 6242Y 2.5mm² twin and earth (PX-CABLE-6242Y-1M-2.5MM-GREY) is a mains fixed-wiring cable, sold here as a 1m length rather than a full drum.
On a CCTV job this is the cable for the mains side — feeding an NVR, PSU or a fused spur near a camera or recorder position. It is not a low-voltage camera or signal cable; do not use it for PoE, coax, or extra-low-voltage runs.
Key specs
- Conductor: solid copper core — keeps the cable rigid, so it routes straight and holds its shape in a chase
- Size: 2.5mm² — the standard gauge for domestic ring/radial socket circuits
- Voltage rating: 300/500V
- Profile: flat — sits flush when chased into plaster rather than standing proud
- Length supplied: 1m cut length (also stocked as full 100m drums for larger runs, eliminating mid-run joins)
Why it matters on site
Solid-core rigidity means fewer kinks when pushing through conduit or under floorboards. The flat profile keeps finishing neat where cable is buried in plaster ahead of a socket or connection unit feeding CCTV mains equipment.
Confirm circuit protection and cable routing comply with current wiring regulations before connecting to any powered CCTV equipment — this listing covers the cable only.
