Product Description
The Prysmian Twin and Earth Cable 6242Y 2.5mm² Grey (SKU PX-CABLE-6242Y-1M-2.5MM-GREY) is a 1m length of mains-voltage cable for domestic electrical installations. Twin and earth means two insulated conductors plus a bare earth conductor, in one flat sheath.
What the specs mean in practice
- 2.5mm² size: the cross-section of each conductor.
- Solid copper core: the cable stays rigid, so it holds its line when you route it.
- Flat profile: it sits flush when chased into plaster. A chase is a channel cut into the wall. Finishing is simpler because the cable does not stand proud.
- Rated 300/500V: a mains-voltage rating.
- Colour: grey.
Length and joins
This is the 1m length. On substantial projects, a 100-metre drum removes the need for joins. That saves time on connections and removes potential fault points.
What else the job needs
This is a power cable. It is not a signal or network cable, so it does not replace the cable that carries video from a camera to a recorder. Use it on the mains side of an installation.
