Product Description
UniStrand 3183Y is a 3-core, 2.5mm² flexible mains cable on a 100m reel, rated 300/500V at approximately 25A.
On CCTV and low-voltage installs, this is the cable for mains-side power — feeding DVR/NVR cabinets, PoE switch power supplies, rack sockets or site equipment — not for running to cameras themselves. Keep it separate from your data/coax runs and let it do the job it's built for.

Where it's used
3183Y is standard trade stock for connecting appliances, power tools, office equipment and portable devices, and for extension leads or temporary power connections. On installation jobs it's suited to indoor environments — homes, offices and light commercial or industrial sites — anywhere flexible mains wiring with higher current capacity than a light-duty flex is needed.
Sold as a 100m reel, this length suits contractors and integrators running multiple power drops from a single stock, rather than one-off appliance leads.
