OWY electrical cable 2x1.5 mm² 300/300V black OMY2X1,5

OWY electrical cable 2x1.5 mm² 300/300V black OMY2X1,5 is a twin-conductor cable designed for low-voltage power distribution and fixed installations. The cable contains two insulated conductors, each with a 1.5 mm² cross-sectional area, and a black outer sheath. It is intended for domestic and light commercial wiring applications where a compact twin-core solution is needed, supporting connections for lighting circuits, switches, and small appliances.

Advantages

The cable offers a standardized conductor size suitable for typical lighting and control circuits and delivers mechanical protection via an outer sheath in black. Its twin-core construction simplifies routing in walls and conduits where a neutral and live conductor are required together. Rated for 300/300V, the cable is suitable for low-voltage installations and straightforward to terminate with common connectors and terminal blocks. The compact dimensions make it practical for tight spaces and retrofit work.

Suitable for

• Domestic lighting circuits
• Switch and outlet connections for small appliances
• Fixed installations in walls, ceilings, and conduit systems
• Renovation and retrofit wiring where space is limited

Key specifications

• Conductor configuration: twin-core (2 conductors)
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per conductor
• Rated voltage: 300/300V for low-voltage use
• Sheath color: black
• Application: fixed installations for lighting and small loads

How to use

Plan the circuit and verify that a 1.5 mm² conductor size is appropriate for the intended load and protection device. Cut the cable to length, strip the outer sheath and individual conductor insulation to the required lengths, and connect conductors to terminals or connectors following local wiring regulations. Ensure secure fastening of the cable within boxes, conduits, or clips, and avoid sharp bends that could damage insulation. Use appropriate protective devices and earth connections as required by the installation standards.

Usage recommendations

Use this twin-core cable for lighting and control circuits with protective devices matched to the conductor size. For circuits with higher continuous currents or where additional conductors are needed, select a cable with a larger cross-section or more cores. Store and install the cable away from sources of heat, oils, and mechanical damage, and always follow local electrical codes and safety practices.
