Cable Shumee YDY 2x1.5 mm² white 450/750V 100 m

Shumee YDY 2x1.5 mm² is a fixed-installation electrical cable with two insulated conductors of 1.5 mm² and a white PVC outer sheath. Rated for 450/750V, this 100 m length is intended for indoor power distribution, lighting circuits and connection of small appliances where a standard PVC-insulated power cable is required. The cable is suitable for laying in conduits, cable trays or embedded into walls and floors when not subject to mechanical stress.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, standardized solution for common low-voltage wiring tasks. With two 1.5 mm² conductors it balances current-carrying capacity and flexibility for lighting and small load circuits. The PVC insulation and sheath offer basic mechanical protection and electrical insulation in typical indoor environments. A neutral white outer color simplifies visual matching in residential and commercial interiors.

Suitable for

• Indoor lighting circuits and switches
• Powering small household appliances and devices on dedicated circuits
• Laying in conduits, cable ducts or trays in non-mechanically stressed areas
• Embedding in walls or floors where regulations allow fixed PVC-insulated cables

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor installations exposed to sunlight, direct moisture or prolonged UV radiation; the PVC sheath does not provide long-term weather resistance. It is also unsuitable for locations where mechanical damage, heavy abrasion or continuous movement may occur, such as flexible connections, mobile equipment or areas requiring armoured or highly flame-retardant cable types.

Key specifications

• Conductors: 2 cores, solid or stranded copper conductors with 1.5 mm² cross-sectional area each
• Voltage rating: 450/750 V
• Insulation and sheath: PVC
• Outer colour: white
• Length: 100 m
• Intended use: fixed indoor installations, embedded or laid in conduits/trays

How to use

Plan the circuit according to local wiring regulations and calculate load and protective device ratings for 1.5 mm² conductors. Cut the cable to required lengths and strip the outer sheath and conductor insulation using appropriate tools, taking care not to damage the conductors. Route the cable through conduits or trays, secure at regular intervals, and make terminations in junction boxes, switches or fixtures using appropriate connectors and proper earthing techniques where required. Ensure all work complies with applicable electrical codes and, where necessary, engage a qualified electrician for installation and inspection.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 1.5 mm² conductor size and 450/750 V rating meet the circuit current and protection requirements.
• Check whether PVC-sheathed cable is permitted for your specific installation location and application by local codes.
• Verify that a 100 m reel length suits your routing and allows for joints or spare length if needed.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for fixed indoor wiring such as lighting and small appliance circuits, install in protected routes (conduits or trays), avoid exposure to direct sunlight or wet conditions, and ensure termination and protection devices are matched to the conductor size.
