On the job
2.5mm² is the usual size for domestic and commercial small power circuits — ring and radial socket outlet circuits, fused spurs to local loads, and plant room small power. In a security/CCTV context this size is commonly pulled to feed mains into a DVR/NVR cabinet or a switched-mode PSU location. The flat profile clips neatly for containment runs, and solid conductors keep electrical characteristics consistent over the full 100m length. Supplied on a boxed reel for straightforward dispensing and measuring on site.
Also listed under MPN PX-CABLE-6242Y-100M-25MM-GREY for the same 2.5mm² grey drum.
