Prysmian 6242Y Grey 2.5mm² Twin & Earth Cable 100m Drum (20967)

Hi, The CPC in this cable is 1.5mm².

It is not. It is standard PVC insulated.

Hi, We would not anticipate any significant effects, short or long term, if the cable is plastered over; if there are any effects then these would most likely present themselves during the curing/drying phase of the plaster but would be short-lived. Over the long term there could potentially be some migration of the plastciser resulting in loss of flexibility but this should not be an issue if the cable is fixed (i.e. not subjected to repeated flexing). Otherwise, we would recommend not loading the cables before the plaster is dried and to consider 'capping' the cable wherever possible.

Please be advised that Prysmian has been unaware of a technical issue in accessing enquiries logged through Screwfix. We trust that your question has been resolved in the meantime and would like to assure you that future enquiries will be visible to us and responded to accordingly.

Thank you for contacting Prysmian Technical Support. Please accept our apologies for the delay in responding. We understand if you have overcome the situation you presented to us, in case that you have not, we would recommend that if you have already purchased the cable, that you ensure the hole is adequate for the cable to fit. If you have yet to acquire the cable and are looking to "get ready" for the first fix than as a guide the hole should be sufficient to allow for the maximum size of 6.2mm x 11.7mm, i.e. approximately an 11 or 12mm hole. We trust that this is helpful. Thank you Kind regards Technical Team
