OWY electrical cable 2x1.5 mm² 300/500V white OWY2X1,5

OWY electrical cable 2x1.5 mm² 300/500V white OWY2X1,5 is a two-core power cable designed for general electrical installations. It features two copper conductors with a cross-sectional area of 1.5 mm² and insulation suitable for mains voltages up to 300/500V. The white outer sheath provides a neutral appearance for visible indoor wiring and basic household connections.

Advantages

This cable offers a compact two-conductor design with a conductor size commonly used for lighting circuits and small appliances. Its 1.5 mm² cross-section balances current-carrying capacity and flexibility for routing inside conduits, trunking, or surface-mounted installations. The standard voltage rating makes it appropriate for residential and light commercial environments where routine wiring and branch circuits are required.

Suitable for

• Indoor lighting circuits and lamp connections
• Small appliance and socket branch wiring where permitted by local regulations
• Fixed household wiring inside walls, ceilings, or surface-mounted trunking
• Temporary connections for renovation and repair work

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 2
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm²
• Rated voltage: 300/500V
• Conductor material: copper (stranded or solid depending on variant)
• Outer sheath color: white
• Intended use: indoor fixed installation and branch circuits

How to use

Install the cable following applicable electrical codes and safety standards. Route the cable through conduits, trunking, or within walls ensuring it is protected from mechanical damage and heat sources. Strip insulation to the appropriate length for terminal connections, secure conductors in terminals or junction boxes, and ensure proper earthing where required. Verify continuity, insulation resistance, and correct polarity before powering the circuit.

Usage recommendations

Use this 2x1.5 mm² cable for lighting circuits and small fixed loads; consult local wiring regulations to confirm where 1.5 mm² conductors are permitted. Avoid external exposure to sunlight and moisture unless the installation method and protective measures are suitable for such conditions.
