OWY flat cable 5×1 mm² 300/500V white – OWY5X1

OWY flat cable 5×1 mm² 300/500V white – OWY5X1 is a flat, multi-core electrical cable designed for internal wiring and low-voltage installations. It contains five single-core conductors, each with a cross-sectional area of 1 mm², arranged in a parallel flat configuration and protected by a white outer sheath. The cable is rated for 300/500 V and intended for applications where a compact, easily routed flat cable is preferred over round cable types.

Advantages

The flat construction provides space-saving routing in confined spaces and neat alignment behind trim, skirting or inside conduits. Individual single-core insulated conductors simplify termination and connection to terminal blocks, switches and lighting fixtures. The white sheath offers a neutral appearance for visible installations and helps with integration into interiors. The OWY5X1 combines straightforward handling with a voltage rating suitable for typical household and building wiring tasks.

Suitable for

• Internal wiring of rooms and apartments
• Lighting circuits and fixture connections
• Connection of household appliances within rated voltage
• Low-voltage distribution in service ducts and behind skirting boards
• Applications requiring flat multi-core cabling for space-saving routing

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 5 single-core conductors
• Conductor cross-section: 1 mm² per core
• Rated voltage: 300/500 V
• Configuration: flat, parallel conductors
• Sheath color: white
• Insulation type: single-core insulated conductors (each core insulated)

How to use

Install the OWY5X1 flat cable following local wiring regulations and safety standards. Route the cable in dry, internal environments and secure it at regular intervals to prevent strain. Strip the outer sheath and individual core insulation only as much as required for safe termination, and connect conductors to appropriate terminals, switches or fixtures using suitable connectors or terminal blocks. Ensure correct conductor identification and observe polarity and earthing requirements when connecting to equipment.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable indoors only and avoid exposure to direct sunlight, prolonged moisture or mechanical damage. Confirm that the conductor cross-section and rated voltage are appropriate for the intended circuit load; consult local electrical codes if in doubt. For installations involving fixed wiring in walls or ceilings, follow building regulations and consider protection inside conduit where mechanical protection is required.
