Product Features and Product Specifications

Flat Twin and Earth Construction

Consists of two insulated copper conductors (live and neutral) with a bare copper earth wire, enclosed in a flat-profile outer PVC sheath for ease of installation in tight spaces.

2.5mm² Conductor Size

Supports moderate power loads, making it suitable for socket ring circuits, radial circuits, and general-purpose wiring where 2.5mm² is recommended.

PVC Insulated Sheath

The thermoplastic PVC insulation and sheathing provide resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and moisture, ensuring extended service life in standard conditions.

Suitable for Fixed Wiring

Ideal for installation in dry or protected environments, including within trunking, conduits, or plastered walls, following standard wiring practices.

Easy to Strip and Terminate

Designed with a soft sheath and clearly separated conductors, allowing for straightforward stripping and secure connection during installation.
