## Description

SHPELEC® 6242Y Twin and Earth Cable 1.5mm – 10m | 6242YH BASEC Approved Grey T&E | Lighting & Low-Load Circuit Wire, Solid Copper (10 Metres, 1.5mm²) : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

## Features

- BASEC Approved 6242Y (6242YH) twin and earth cable made to BS 6004 — two solid plain-copper 1.5mm² cores (brown / blue), 1.0mm² bare copper earth (fit green/yellow sleeving), grey PVC sheath, 300/500V.
- The standard UK size for lighting and low-load radial circuits in homes and light commercial work. Circuit design and installation to BS 7671 by a competent person.
- Rated up to 20A clipped direct (BS 7671 reference method C). Actual capacity depends on installation method, grouping, insulation and run length — always check before sizing a circuit.
- Solid-core T&E is meant to be stiff: it dresses cleanly into clips and trunking, holds its shape in back boxes and stays put once terminated. It is not a flex — for appliance leads use flexible cable.
- Cut fresh from the reel: lengths from 1m to 100m on this listing — pick your length above. Longer cuts work out cheaper per metre. For fixed indoor wiring.
