Product Description
Prysmian 6242Y 2.5mm² Twin & Earth — 1m length, grey
This is a 1m cut length of Prysmian 6242Y 2.5mm² twin and earth, the standard fixed-wiring cable for domestic socket circuits. It's rated 300/500V and supplied here in a short length rather than a full drum, useful when a job needs a small run or an offcut for testing before committing to a full reel.
On a CCTV or access-control install, this cable belongs on the mains side of the job — feeding a hardwired PSU, NVR, or a fused spur near a camera or recorder position. It is not a signal, coax or PoE cable, and shouldn't be used for extra-low-voltage camera runs.
Key specs
- Conductor: solid copper core — keeps the cable rigid, so it holds a straight line when routed through a chase
- Size: 2.5mm² — the gauge commonly used for domestic ring and radial socket circuits
- Voltage rating: 300/500V
- Flat profile, so it sits level when set into plaster instead of protruding
- Length: 1m cut length
Why the length matters
Buying a 1m length suits patch repairs, short spur connections, or checking cable compatibility before ordering a full drum. For larger jobs with multiple mains connections, a full drum avoids mid-run joins and the extra connection points that can introduce faults.
Always confirm the mains supply requirement for your NVR or PSU before specifying this cable — it's for fixed wiring, not camera signal runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable for camera signal or PoE runs?
No — this is a 300/500V mains fixed-wiring cable for socket circuits, not a low-voltage signal or PoE cable.
What would I use a 1m length for on a CCTV job?
A short length like this suits a mains feed to a nearby PSU, NVR, or fused spur, or for checking the cable before ordering a full drum.
Is this cable rigid or flexible?
It has a solid copper core, which keeps it rigid and easier to route straight through a chase rather than flexing like a stranded cable.
What voltage is this cable rated for?
It is rated to 300/500V, in line with standard domestic twin and earth cable.
