OWY workshop cable 5x4 mm2 300/500V white OWY5X4

OWY workshop cable 5x4 mm2 300/500V white OWY5X4 is a five-core power cable with 4 mm² conductor cross-section and a white outer jacket, intended for equipment wiring and temporary power distribution in workshops and industrial settings. The cable is designed to supply machines, portable tools and installations that operate up to the rated voltage of 300/500V. Its multi-core configuration provides separate conductors for line, neutral and protective or control circuits, enabling neat and safe multi-phase or single-phase connections where a compact, flexible power feed is needed.

Advantages

The OWY 5x4 mm² cable combines a compact multi-core construction with conductors sized for moderate to heavy current loads, allowing reliable power delivery for a range of workshop equipment. The white outer jacket offers visual clarity for routing and identification, and the cable’s design supports both fixed and semi-flexible installations. Materials and construction conform to typical workshop cable requirements to ensure mechanical durability and stable electrical performance under normal operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Wiring of workshop machinery and production equipment
• Temporary power distribution boards and site power feeds
• Connections for portable electric tools and welding equipment
• Fixed or semi-flexible installations in industrial and maintenance areas
• Multi-phase or single-phase power supplies requiring five conductors

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 5
• Conductor cross-section: 4 mm² per core
• Rated voltage: 300/500 V
• Outer jacket colour: white
• Application type: workshop and industrial power wiring

How to use

Install the OWY 5x4 mm² cable following applicable electrical standards and local regulations. Prepare cable ends by stripping appropriate lengths of the outer jacket and individual conductor insulation, taking care not to damage conductor strands. Terminate conductors in compatible connectors, terminal blocks or distribution boards sized for 4 mm² conductors, observing correct phase, neutral and protective conductor assignment. For temporary feeds, secure the cable to avoid strain on terminations; for fixed installations, use appropriate clamps and conduits as required.

Usage recommendations

Check load calculations and derating factors before installation to ensure conductor sizing suits expected currents and ambient conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to sharp edges, excessive heat sources or chemicals that could degrade the jacket. For installations requiring additional mechanical protection or outdoor use, consider routing through conduit or selecting a cable variant rated for the specific environment.
