SHPELEC® 6242YH Twin and Earth Cable - 2.5mm 40m Electrical Mains Socket Ring Wire BASEC Approved Multiple Lengths (40 metres Cable)

BASEC Approved 6242Y (6242YH) twin and earth cable made to BS 6004 — two solid plain-copper 2.5mm² cores (brown / blue), 1.5mm² bare copper earth (fit green/yellow sleeving), grey PVC sheath, 300/500V. A commonly used UK size for domestic socket ring-final and radial circuits. Circuit design, protective device selection and installation must comply with BS 7671 and be completed by a competent person. Rated up to 27A clipped direct (BS 7671 reference method C). Actual capacity depends on installation method, grouping, insulation and run length — always check before sizing a circuit. Solid-core T&E is meant to be stiff: it dresses cleanly into clips and trunking, holds its shape in back boxes and stays put once terminated. It is not a flex — for appliance leads use flexible cable. Cut fresh from the reel: lengths from 1m to 100m on this listing — pick your length above. Longer cuts work out cheaper per metre. For fixed indoor wiring.
