Prysmian 6242Y Twin & Earth Cable 1.5mm² Grey 1m

Prysmian 6242Y 1.5mm² 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 consists of two 1.5mm² plain annealed class 1 solid copper conductors, colour coded brown (line) and blue (neutral), laid flat together with an uninsulated bare copper circuit protective conductor (CPC), all enclosed within a grey PVC outer sheath. The construction meets BS6004 with conductors to BS EN 60228, and is BASEC approved, making it suitable where branded Prysmian cable is required by specification. Rated at 300/500V with a maximum operating temperature of 70°C and a typical current rating around 20A (clipped direct, subject to installation method and local wiring regulations), the 1.5mm² size is commonly used for lighting circuits, switch drops, and smaller power radial circuits in accordance with BS 7671. The flat profile allows neat clipping along walls and joists, routing on boards or trays, in channels, trunking or conduit, or embedding directly in plaster where an earth continuity conductor is required. Approximate overall dimensions of 4.7mm height by 8.6mm width provide a compact cable that remains easy to strip and terminate in accessories, junction boxes and distribution boards. This listing represents the same Prysmian 6242Y 1.5mm² grey PVC twin and earth cable supplied cut to length per metre from a 100m drum, allowing installers to purchase only the length required for a given circuit rather than a full reel. It integrates into general wiring and security infrastructure to provide fixed 230V feeds for equipment such as CCTV power supplies, small distribution boards and ancillary loads, complementing low-voltage cabling such as Cat5e/Cat6 and coax within the wider installation.
