LgY 1x2.5 H07V-K Black is a single-core electrical cable with a 2.5 mm² copper conductor and H07V-K PVC insulation, supplied in black. It is designed for fixed electrical installations and internal wiring where a flexible single-core conductor is needed. Typical applications include lighting circuits, socket circuits and general-purpose building wiring in residential and commercial environments.
Advantages
This cable provides a balance of flexibility and mechanical robustness suitable for routing inside conduits, trunking or fixed cable runs. The H07V-K PVC insulation offers basic resistance to abrasion and common indoor environmental factors, while the 2.5 mm² conductor cross-section supports standard branch circuits and lighting loads. Being a single-core product, it is straightforward to strip and terminate for connections to outlets, switches and distribution equipment.
Suitable for
- Fixed internal wiring for lighting circuits
- Socket outlet circuits in residential or light commercial installations
- Connection runs inside conduits, trunking or behind distribution boards
- Situations requiring a flexible single-core conductor of 2.5 mm²
When it may not be suitable
This cable is intended for fixed installation and indoor use; it is not designed for direct burial, continuous outdoor exposure without protection, or application where enhanced chemical, oil or UV resistance is required. For installations subject to high mechanical stress, frequent flexing, high-temperature environments, or where multicore screened cable is specified, select a product designed for those conditions.
Key specifications
- Conductor cross-section: 2.5 mm² (single-core)
- Insulation material: PVC (H07V-K type)
- Colour: Black
- Application: Fixed internal electrical installations and branch circuits
How to use
Install the cable in accordance with applicable electrical regulations and local codes. Route the single-core conductor through conduit, trunking or cable ducts, secure with appropriate clips or supports, and avoid sharp bends exceeding the recommended bending radius for 2.5 mm² cable. Strip the insulation carefully to expose the conductor for termination and use suitable connectors or terminal blocks rated for 2.5 mm² copper conductors. Ensure correct identification of phases and protective conductors when used alongside other conductors.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm suitability for indoor fixed installations and that H07V-K PVC insulation meets your environmental requirements
- Verify that 2.5 mm² conductor size is appropriate for the intended circuit load and protection device ratings
- Ensure cable colour and single-core format match your wiring and installation standards
Usage recommendations
Use this H07V-K single-core cable for standard indoor lighting and socket circuits routed in conduits or trunking. For installations with exposure to moisture, chemicals, UV or prolonged mechanical movement, choose a cable with enhanced protection or a flexible multi-core alternative.
