Description
6181Y 1.5mm² Double Insulated Single Core Cable – Grey/Brown (100m Drum)
Versatile Double Insulated Single Core Wiring
Electricians choose the
6181Y 1.5mm cable
specifically for surface wiring in dry or damp premises. This single-core wire features a brown inner core for live phase identification and a durable grey outer sheath. Furthermore, this double insulation allows you to clip the cable directly to walls or embed it in plaster without using conduit.
Because this cable uses high-quality PVC insulation, it resists moisture and mechanical wear effectively. As a result, it provides a safer and more durable solution than standard single-insulated conduit wires. Specifically, professionals use it for domestic lighting switch drops, central heating wiring, and internal distribution.
Engineered for Reliability and Compliance
In addition to its safety features, the 1.5mm² solid copper conductor ensures excellent conductivity for fixed installations. Because the cable utilizes a rigid core, it holds its shape well when routed along skirting boards or in back boxes. Moreover, it operates reliably in temperatures from -15°C to +70°C.
Professional Trade Packaging
Finally, we supply this cable on a strong 100m drum. This reel makes handling on-site fast and efficient while reducing waste. Every drum carries full BASEC approval and meets BS 6004 standards, ensuring your work complies with all UK building regulations.
