Electrical cable Pozostali OWY 4x1 mm² 300/500V white reel 100 m

Pozostali OWY 4x1 mm² electrical cable on a 100 m reel is a four-core PVC-insulated conductor rated for 300/500V applications. Designed for fixed installations and internal wiring, this cable features a 1.0 mm² conductor cross-section suitable where single-phase circuits, lighting feeds, and small appliance circuits require a compact and flexible connection. The white outer sheath offers a neutral appearance for visible runs and general-purpose wiring tasks.

Advantages

This cable provides a balance of flexibility and mechanical protection due to its PVC insulation and sheath, making it straightforward to route through conduits and trunking. The four-core configuration simplifies multi-conductor connections such as switched lighting circuits or small distribution runs without needing to pull multiple separate cores. A 100 m reel format reduces joins in longer runs and speeds up installation for electricians and installers handling multiple points.

Suitable for

• Fixed indoor electrical installations in residential and commercial buildings
• Lighting circuits and switched live installations
• Connections to small appliances and terminal blocks where 1.0 mm² conductors are specified
• Short distribution runs inside conduits, trunking, or surface-mounted channels

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for fixed, internal installations and is not intended for direct burial, outdoor exposed runs, or environments with prolonged UV exposure unless additional protection is provided. It is also not suitable for circuits that require larger conductor cross-sections, higher voltage ratings, or specific low-smoke, fire-resistant, or halogen-free properties.

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 4
• Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm² per core
• Insulation and sheath material: PVC
• Rated voltage: 300/500 V
• Colour of sheath: White
• Length: 100 m (reel)

How to use

Plan the cable route considering bends, fixing points, and required protection such as conduits or trunking. Cut the required length from the reel and strip the outer sheath and individual core insulation to the appropriate lengths for termination. Use suitable terminals, connectors, or junction boxes rated for the conductor size and application. Secure the cable at regular intervals to prevent strain and avoid sharp bends below the manufacturer’s recommended bending radius. If used in embedded or concealed installations, follow local electrical codes and standards and perform continuity and insulation resistance tests after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 1.0 mm² conductor cross-section meets the current-carrying and voltage-drop requirements for your circuit
• Confirm the cable is suitable for indoor fixed installations and whether additional mechanical or environmental protection is required
• Check local electrical regulations for insulation type, fire performance, and installation methods
• Consider whether a different sheath colour or cable type (e.g., single-core, multi-core with different cross-sections, halogen-free) is needed for your project

Usage recommendations

Use the Pozostali OWY 4x1 mm² cable for indoor fixed wiring where standard PVC insulation is acceptable. For circuits near heat sources, outdoors, or in escape routes, choose a cable with appropriate thermal, fire performance, or weather-resistant characteristics and consult local codes before installation.
