Product Description
The Prysmian PX Twin & Earth Cable (SKU PX-CABLE-6242Y-100M-1.5MM-GREY) is a 100m reel of 1.5mm² twin and earth cable in a grey outer sheath, rated 300/500V.
This cable type is the standard choice for lighting circuits and low-current wiring in domestic and small commercial installations — including mains power runs to CCTV recorders, external junction boxes and other fixed equipment where a system needs a dedicated power feed rather than a plug-in adapter.

What this means for a buyer
The twin and earth configuration gives you live, neutral and a protective earth conductor in one cable, which is what you need for safe, correctly earthed connections. The 1.5mm² cross-section suits lighting circuits and moderate-current loads rather than heavy appliance circuits. A 100m length means fewer joins on longer runs, which matters if you're feeding power to an externally mounted recorder or enclosure some distance from the consumer unit. As with any fixed electrical wiring, installation should be carried out or signed off by someone competent to do so.
