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