OW electrical cable 2x1.5 mm² 300/500V OW2X1,5 — twin-core flexible power cable

OW 2x1.5 mm² twin-core flexible power cable (300/500V) is intended for general electrical installations and fixed wiring where a compact, flexible conductor pair is required. The cable contains two flexible conductors each with a cross-sectional area of 1.5 mm² and insulation rated for 300/500 volts, making it suitable for lighting circuits, small appliance circuits and other low-power power distribution runs in residential and commercial buildings.

Advantages

The cable combines flexibility with a standardized conductor size of 1.5 mm², enabling easier routing through conduits, trunking and behind fittings. Insulation and sheath materials are selected to meet the 300/500V rating, providing reliable electrical separation and mechanical protection in typical indoor installation conditions. Its twin-core configuration simplifies installations that require a live and neutral conductor without additional cores.

Suitable for

• Lighting circuits in homes and commercial premises
• Power supply for small household appliances and fixed equipment
• Internal wiring in switchboards, junction boxes and conduits
• Replacement or extension of existing 1.5 mm² twin-core installations

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-sectional area: 1.5 mm² per core
• Number of cores: 2 (twin-core)
• Voltage rating: 300/500 V
• Conductor type: flexible stranded copper (suitable for flexible routing)
• Typical application: lighting and low-power circuits

How to use

Install the cable according to applicable national and local electrical regulations. Route the cable through conduits, trunking or cable channels, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical damage. Strip the outer sheath and individual core insulation carefully to expose conductors for connection to terminals or fixtures; ensure secure fastening and correct polarity when connecting live and neutral. Use appropriate cable clips, glands or conduit fittings to secure and protect the cable where it enters enclosures or passes through walls.

Usage recommendations

Verify load current and circuit protection settings before use to ensure the 1.5 mm² conductor size and 300/500V rating are appropriate for the intended circuit. Do not use this cable for outdoor direct burial or where special UV, chemical or high-temperature resistance is required unless additional protective measures are applied. For installations in damp, high-temperature or hazardous locations consult relevant installation standards and use suitable cable types.
