Product Description
UniStrand 3183Y 2.5mm 3 Core PVC Flexible Cable Black 100m is a three-core flexible mains cable supplied on one 100-metre reel.
What each spec gives you
- 3 cores, 2.5mm² each: three conductors with a larger cross-section than smaller flexible cords, so more current capacity.
- Approximately 25A: the typical current rating.
- 300/500V: the voltage rating for mains use.
- Class 5 copper conductors: flexible stranded copper, compliant with BS EN 60228, the standard for cable conductors. It bends and routes more easily than solid core.
- PVC insulation, black PVC sheath: PVC (polyvinyl chloride) insulates each core. The outer sheath is durable.
- +5°C to +70°C (approximately): the operating range. It points to indoor use in homes, offices and light commercial spaces.
Where it is used
Domestic appliances, power tools, office equipment and portable devices. It also suits extension leads, equipment wiring and temporary power connections, in offices, kitchens and light industrial installations.
Before you order
This is mains cable, not low-voltage or data cable. It comes as a bulk reel rather than a made-up lead, so you cut lengths to suit the job. One reel can cover several runs on the same site.
