Workshop cable OWY OWY4X1 4x1 mm², 300/500 V, white

OWY workshop cable OWY4X1 4x1 mm² is a four‑core electrical cable designed for installations and machine connections that require a 300/500 V rated flexible wiring solution. The cable features four individually insulated conductors with a nominal cross‑section of 1 mm² each, supplied in white outer sheath. It is intended for general electrical wiring in workshops, light power circuits and multi‑wire installations where a compact, low‑voltage cable is appropriate.

Advantages

The OWY4X1 cable combines four insulated conductors in a single outer sheath to simplify routing and connection in confined or mobile installations. Its 1 mm² conductor cross‑section offers a balance between flexibility and current carrying capacity for small machinery, control circuits and lighting runs. The white outer sheath provides a neutral appearance that is easy to integrate into workshop environments and helps with conductor identification during installation.

Suitable for

• Power supply and control wiring for light machinery and workshop tools
• Interconnections between equipment and distribution points within workshops
• Multi‑wire signal and low‑power distribution requiring up to 300/500 V rating
• Temporary wiring, test setups and relocation of small electrical devices

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 4
• Conductor cross‑section: 1 mm² per core
• Rated voltage: 300/500 V
• Outer sheath colour: white
• Insulation: individual conductor insulation (PVC or similar standard workshop insulation)
• Typical use: internal wiring, machine connections, light power circuits

How to use

Strip the outer sheath and separate the four insulated conductors. Use appropriate cable preparation tools and follow local electrical codes when terminating conductors to terminals, connectors or cable glands. Ensure the conductor cross‑section and the 300/500 V rating are suitable for the intended load and installation type. Secure the cable with clamps or cable ties to prevent mechanical strain at connection points and avoid routing near heat sources or sharp edges.

Usage recommendations

Confirm compatibility with local electrical regulations and match conductor sizing to expected currents. For fixed permanent mains wiring consult a qualified electrician; for portable or temporary connections use appropriately rated connectors and protective devices. Avoid prolonged exposure to outdoor weather unless additional protective measures are applied.
