Electric cable electro base OMY 2x1 B — 2-core 1.0 mm² copper conductor for indoor use

The electro base OMY 2x1 B is a two-core electric cable with 1.0 mm² copper conductors intended for indoor installations. It is designed to provide basic power distribution for lighting circuits, small appliances and fixed wiring where a compact and flexible cable is required. The construction of the cable supports routing in conduit, trunking or direct fixed installation inside buildings and offers reliable conductivity and consistent electrical performance for everyday household and light commercial use.

Advantages

The OMY 2x1 B cable combines a slim profile and flexible copper conductors to simplify installation in confined spaces. Its two-core design provides a clear separation of live and neutral conductors suitable for single-phase lighting and simple power circuits. The cable’s insulation and sheath are formulated for indoor environments, reducing the risk of mechanical damage during routing and enabling straightforward termination on standard connectors and terminal blocks. Overall, it delivers predictable electrical characteristics and ease of handling for common indoor wiring tasks.

Suitable for

• Lighting circuits in residential and commercial interiors
• Power supply for small household appliances and fixed equipment
• Routing inside conduits, trunking or fixed mounting within buildings
• Short branch circuits and cable runs between distribution points and fixtures

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 2 (live and neutral)
• Conductor material: copper
• Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm²
• Intended use: indoor fixed installations
• Flexibility: flexible stranded conductors for ease of routing
• Typical applications: lighting and small-load circuits

How to use

Plan the cable route ensuring compliance with local wiring regulations and calculate required lengths allowing for slack at connection points. Cut the cable to length, strip the outer sheath and prepare the copper conductors for termination using appropriate tools. Terminate the conductors into approved connectors, switchgear or terminal blocks, observing correct polarity and ensuring secure mechanical and electrical connections. Secure the cable along the chosen route using clips or trunking and avoid sharp bends or mechanical stress. Always de-energize circuits before working and verify continuity and insulation resistance after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use the OMY 2x1 B cable only for indoor fixed wiring and follow national electrical codes regarding conductor sizing, circuit protection and installation practices. Do not use this cable in outdoor, buried or exposed wet locations. For higher current loads or longer runs, verify voltage drop and consider cables with larger conductor cross-sections. When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
