OW cable OW5X1,5 5-core 1.5 mm² power cable 300/500V on reel

OW OW5X1,5 is a five-core power cable with 1.5 mm² copper conductors and rated voltage 300/500V, supplied on a reel for straightforward handling during installation. The cable is designed for fixed installations and for power distribution where multiple insulated conductors are required in the same sheath. The reel packaging facilitates transport, storage and measured unwinding on site for residential and light-commercial electrical circuits.

Advantages

The cable combines a compact 5-core construction with standardized 1.5 mm² conductor cross-section suitable for many lighting and control circuits. Insulation and outer sheath provide the electrical separation and mechanical protection expected for 300/500V rated cables. Being supplied on a reel reduces tangling and speeds up routing along trays, conduits and channels while allowing precise length control during installation.

Suitable for

• Indoor fixed wiring for lighting circuits
• Power distribution to small appliances and control circuits
• Multiconductor runs inside cable ducts, trunking and conduits
• Residential and light-commercial electrical installations

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 5
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per core
• Rated voltage: 300/500V
• Conductor material: copper (stranded or solid depending on variant)
• Supply form: on reel for measured dispensing
• Application: fixed installations and internal power distribution

How to use

Measure the required length from the reel and unwind the cable carefully to avoid kinks. Route the cable through ducts, conduits or cable trays following local electrical codes and secure it at regular intervals. Strip insulation only at connection points and make terminations with appropriate terminals or connector blocks. Ensure correct identification of individual cores and verify continuity and insulation resistance before energizing the circuit.

Usage recommendations

Store the reel in a dry, clean place and protect from direct sunlight and mechanical damage. Select the conductor routing and protective conduit consistent with local regulations and load calculations for 1.5 mm² conductors. For runs subject to mechanical stress or outdoor exposure, use additional protection or a cable type specified for those conditions. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician to confirm suitability for the intended application.
