Electric cable electro base OMY 2x1 W — 2 conductors 1 mm², indoor use, white copper wire

electro base OMY 2x1 W is a two-conductor electric cable with 1 mm² copper conductors and white insulation designed for indoor installations. It is intended for general low-voltage wiring tasks such as lighting circuits and basic household electrical connections. The cable’s compact cross-section and standard insulation make it suitable for concealed runs in walls or surface-mounted installations in dry indoor environments.

Advantages

The cable offers reliable conductivity due to solid copper conductors and consistent 1 mm² cross-section, providing predictable performance for low-power circuits. White insulation delivers a neutral appearance for visible runs and consistent electrical insulation properties for indoor use. Its two-conductor design simplifies connections for single-phase lighting and basic switch or outlet circuits, while the flexible insulation facilitates installation in both concealed and surface-mounted configurations.

Suitable for

• Indoor lighting circuits in residential and commercial premises
• Basic household wiring for sockets and switches where 1 mm² conductors are appropriate
• Concealed installations in walls or surface-mounted runs in dry rooms
• Replacement or extension of existing two-conductor indoor wiring of the same gauge

Key specifications

• Conductor material: copper
• Number of conductors: 2
• Conductor cross-section: 1 mm²
• Insulation color: white
• Intended use: indoor, dry locations
• Application: low-voltage wiring for lighting and household circuits

How to use

Plan the routing and length required for the installation and ensure power is switched off at the distribution board before beginning work. Strip the outer insulation and individual conductor insulation to appropriate lengths for terminals or connectors, taking care not to damage conductor strands. Use appropriate cable clips, conduit, or trunking for secure mounting in concealed or surface-mounted installations as required by local electrical regulations. Connect conductors to matching terminals for phase and neutral, and ensure all connections are tightened to specified torque values and protected with suitable terminal covers or junction boxes.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable only in dry indoor environments and within its rated current capacity; consult local wiring regulations to confirm suitability for specific circuits. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, or mechanical damage. For circuits with higher current requirements or where local codes require different conductor sizes, select an appropriate cable with larger cross-section or additional conductors.
