Product Description
Prysmian 6242Y 2.5mm² twin and earth cable (PX-CABLE-6242Y-1M-2.5MM-GREY), sold here by the metre, is the standard fixed-wiring cable used for socket circuits in domestic installations, and this listing covers 1m lengths cut from stock.
For CCTV installers, this is the cable you'd run to a mains-powered NVR, PSU, or a hardwired power point near a camera location — not the low-voltage signal or camera cable itself. Check what your camera or recorder actually needs before ordering: 2.5mm² T&E is a mains cable rated to 300/500V, sized for ring or radial socket circuits, not for extra-low-voltage camera runs.
Key facts
- Conductor: solid copper core, which keeps the cable rigid and easier to route in a straight chase
- Csize: 2.5mm², the common gauge for domestic socket circuits
- Voltage rating: 300/500V
- Profile: flat, so it sits flush when chased into plaster rather than sitting proud
- Full drum: also available as a 100-metre reel, which avoids mid-run joins on longer jobs
Buying by the metre suits short runs, spurs, or topping up an existing reel rather than a full rewire, where the 100m drum works out more practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable to power a CCTV camera directly?
No — this is 300/500V mains twin and earth for fixed wiring, not the low-voltage cable most CCTV cameras use; check your camera's power requirements first.
What's the difference between this listing and the 100m drum?
Same Prysmian 6242Y 2.5mm² cable, but this is sold by the metre for short runs or spurs, while the 100-metre drum suits longer jobs without joins.
Is this cable suitable for chasing into a wall?
Yes, its flat profile is designed to sit flush when chased into plaster.
What voltage is this cable rated for?
It's rated to 300/500V, the standard rating for domestic twin and earth cable.
