6491X and 6491X HR cables are single core PVC insulated cables for fixed wiring installations.
They are commonly used in domestic, commercial and industrial buildings.
Typical applications include lighting circuits, power circuits, switchgear, control panels and electrical distribution boards.
The cables are suitable for installation in conduit, trunking and protected wiring systems.
6491X is commonly used for general fixed wiring applications.
6491X HR is selected where heat resistant PVC insulation is required.
The cable should be installed where mechanical protection is provided by conduit, trunking, enclosure or other suitable protection.
The cable should be selected according to voltage rating, conductor size, conductor class, insulation colour and project specification.
