6181Y cable is a single core PVC insulated and PVC sheathed cable for fixed wiring installations.
It is commonly used in domestic, commercial and industrial buildings.
Typical applications include surface wiring, lighting circuits, power circuits and general building electrical installations.
The cable is suitable for dry or damp locations where there is little risk of mechanical damage.
The PVC insulation and PVC outer sheath provide electrical insulation and general protection for fixed wiring systems.
6181Y cable should be selected according to voltage rating, conductor size, installation method and project specification.
