Product Description
Prysmian H6242Y 2.5mm² Twin and Earth (PX-CABLE-6242Y-100M-2.5MM-GREY) is a 100m drum of grey PVC flat wiring cable for fixed installations — the standard choice for socket and small power circuits in homes, offices and CCTV power/distribution runs where a mains supply needs running to a panel or PSU location.
What it's made of
- Two PVC-insulated cores, brown (line) and blue (neutral), plus a bare copper CPC (earth) laid flat between them
- 2.5mm² plain annealed solid copper conductors, class 1, to BS EN 60228
- Grey PVC outer sheath, flat profile for clipping to walls, boards, trays or burying in plaster
- 300/500V rating, maximum operating temperature 70°C
Where it's used
Typically specified for ring and radial small power circuits — socket outlets, fused spurs, or plant room supplies. For CCTV installers, this size is often used to feed mains power to a DVR/NVR cabinet or a switched-mode PSU rather than to run low-voltage camera cable itself.
Why the branding matters
This is genuine Prysmian-branded cable, BASEC approved and certified to BS6004 — relevant where a spec, consultant or client insists on a named manufacturer rather than generic twin and earth. Supplied on a boxed 100m reel, which makes it easier to dispense cleanly on site without kinking or tangling compared to a loose coil.
Check your circuit design and cable calculations (run length, load, protective device rating) before ordering, as this listing covers the 2.5mm² size only.
