Workshop Cable OWY OWY5X1,5 — 5 conductors 1.5 mm², 300/500 V, white

OWY workshop cable OWY OWY5X1,5 is a five-conductor electrical cable with a conductor cross-section of 1.5 mm² and a rated voltage of 300/500 V. Delivered in white, this fixed-installation cable is designed for indoor use in workshops, utility rooms and similar environments where a multi-core cable with modest current capacity and mechanical flexibility is required. The cable’s construction supports common wiring tasks such as lighting circuits, switches and small appliances within buildings.

Advantages

The cable offers a balanced combination of compact size and adequate current-carrying capacity for typical workshop applications. Its five conductors simplify multi-wire connections and control circuits without needing additional splices. The 1.5 mm² conductor size provides reliable performance for lighting and low-power circuits while the white outer sheath allows discreet installation in interior spaces. Rated for 300/500 V, the cable meets standard safety expectations for fixed indoor wiring.

Suitable for

• Lighting circuits in workshops and utility rooms
• Wiring for switches, outlets and small fixed appliances
• Signal and control wiring where five conductors are required
• Indoor fixed installations in residential and light commercial buildings

Key specifications

• Number of conductors: 5
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm²
• Rated voltage: 300/500 V
• Outer sheath color: white
• Intended use: fixed indoor installations

How to use

Plan the routing of the cable according to applicable wiring regulations and local electrical codes. Cut the cable to the required length and strip the outer sheath carefully to expose the individual conductors without damaging insulation. Terminate each conductor to the appropriate terminal or connector, observing correct polarity and color coding where applicable. Secure the cable with appropriate clips or conduits to prevent mechanical stress and avoid routing near heat sources or sharp edges. Verify all connections and insulation integrity before energizing the circuit.

Usage recommendations

Use this OWY five-core cable for standard indoor fixed wiring tasks such as lighting and control circuits. For installations subject to mechanical strain, moisture, or outdoor exposure, select a cable with appropriate additional protection or a different construction rated for those conditions.
