2491X cable is a single core PVC insulated cable for fixed wiring and equipment wiring applications.
It is commonly used as hook-up wire in switchgear, control panels, electrical equipment and protected low voltage circuits.
The cable is suitable for installation in conduit, trunking, panels and enclosures.
It can also be used for internal wiring where a single core PVC insulated cable is required.
2491X 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.
