OWY cable 4×0.5 mm² 300/500V white — OWY4X0,5, flat multi-core electrical cable

OWY cable 4×0.5 mm² 300/500V white (OWY4X0,5) is a flat, multi-core electrical cable intended for fixed low-voltage installations. The cable contains four insulated conductors with a cross-sectional area of 0.5 mm² each and is rated for 300/500 V. Its flat profile and compact dimensions make it suited to applications where space is limited and a flexible, easy-to-route cable is required for internal appliance wiring, control circuits and lighting connections.

Advantages

The flat construction provides a low-profile layout that reduces bulk behind panels and inside appliances while maintaining mechanical stability. Insulated copper conductors with 0.5 mm² cross-section ensure predictable current-carrying capability for small circuits and sensors. The 300/500 V voltage rating matches common low-voltage distribution standards for internal wiring. White external sheath offers discreet appearance in light-coloured installations and helps with visual identification during routing and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Internal appliance wiring and interconnections
• Control and signal circuits in equipment and machines
• Lighting circuits for fixtures and LED modules (fixed installation)
• Compact installations where a flat cable profile is required

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 4
• Conductor cross-section: 0.5 mm² per core
• Voltage rating: 300/500 V
• Construction: flat multi-core cable
• Sheath colour: white

How to use

Use the cable for fixed installations only; it is intended to be laid inside appliances, equipment cabinets, or permanently fixed wiring routes. Strip the outer sheath and individual conductor insulation carefully to expose the copper conductors for termination, ensuring appropriate lengths and insulation integrity. Follow local electrical codes for conductor grouping, minimum bending radius and protective measures such as conduit or trunking where mechanical protection is required. Match conductor size and voltage rating to the circuit load and protective devices.

Usage recommendations

For safe and durable results, install this cable in dry, indoor environments and avoid continuous exposure to direct sunlight, moisture or mechanical abrasion. Verify compatibility with terminal blocks and connectors rated for 0.5 mm² conductors, and use appropriate fusing or circuit protection sized for the expected current of the application.
