OWY workshop cable 4x6 mm² 300/500 V white OWY4X6

OWY workshop cable 4x6 mm² 300/500 V white OWY4X6 is a four-core electrical cable with 6 mm² conductors designed for fixed wiring in workshop and light industrial indoor environments. The cable combines PVC-insulated conductors and a PVC outer sheath to provide mechanical protection and electrical insulation suitable for power distribution to machines, socket outlets and workshop equipment. Rated at 300/500 V, the construction is intended for circuits where a robust flexible cable with clear core identification and reliable current-carrying capacity is required.

Advantages

The PVC insulation and sheath deliver protection against abrasion, oils commonly found in workshop spaces and moderate mechanical stress while maintaining dielectric separation between conductors. Four cores of 6 mm² give sufficient cross-section for medium-duty power circuits and ensure lower voltage drop for connected equipment. The white outer sheath provides a neutral aesthetic for visible runs in utility areas and helps with light reflection in workspaces. The cable is built for fixed installation, offering consistent electrical performance in indoor workshop conditions.

Suitable for

• Fixed wiring of workshop machinery and assembly lines
• Power supply to socket outlets and distribution boxes in utility rooms
• Indoor light industrial installations and repair shops
• Powering bench equipment, compressors and moderate-load motors

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 4
• Conductor cross-section: 6 mm² per core
• Rated voltage: 300/500 V
• Insulation material: PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
• Sheath material: PVC outer sheath
• Colour: white outer sheath
• Intended use: fixed indoor installation

How to use

Route the cable through appropriate conduits or cable trays following applicable electrical regulations and safety codes for fixed installations. Strip the outer sheath and individual conductor insulation carefully to the required length, using tools appropriate for 6 mm² conductors, and terminate into suitable connectors, distribution blocks or gland plates rated for the conductor size and operating voltage. Ensure proper earthing and phase identification when connecting to equipment or distribution systems. Protect the cable from sharp edges and sources of excessive heat, and avoid exposure to prolonged outdoor conditions unless additional protection is provided.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, select installation accessories (clips, glands, connectors) sized for 6 mm² conductors, follow local wiring standards for current ratings and grouping, and keep the cable within its rated indoor environment. If installation conditions include high mechanical stress, moisture or outdoor exposure, consider additional protective conduits or a cable type specified for those conditions.
