Twin & Earth Flat Cable 6241Y/6242Y/6243Y to BS 6004
Applications
6241Y/6242Y/6243Y low-voltage flexible flat wires and cables commonly used for various electrical applications. Suitable for multiple indoor electrical fixed wiring installations, from lighting to power distribution. When you need mechanical protection, place them in conduit or trunking.
- 6241Y single core & earth cable, typically used for fixed installations. Use indoors in dry environments for wiring in lighting and power circuits, and install in walls, ceilings, and under floors.
- 6242Y Cable is a twin & earth flexible cable suitable for various electrical applications. Commonly used in residential and commercial electrical installations, particularly for connecting electrical appliances and equipment.
- The 6243Y Cable is a three cores & earth cable. 6243Y is used for three-phase connections. You can also use it when an electrical circuit needs a neutral.
