6491X Single Core PVC Cable

The 6491X single-core cable is a widely used electrical cable in the UK, designed for fixed wiring installations. Encased in durable PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) insulation, it is specifically engineered for use within conduits or trunking systems. Unlike its LSZH counterpart, the 6491X cable is not designed to minimise smoke or toxic gas emissions during a fire, making it important to select the correct type for your project.

Key Features of 6491X PVC Cables
  1. PVC Insulation:
    The defining characteristic of 6491X cables is their PVC insulation, which offers strong protection against environmental factors like moisture and abrasion. However, unlike LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cables, PVC can emit smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to fire. This makes 6491X unsuitable for environments requiring enhanced fire safety.
  2. Conductor Design:
    The cable features a single copper core, which may be either solid or stranded depending on the size. This provides excellent conductivity while maintaining flexibility for installation.
  3. Voltage and Temperature Ratings:
    • Voltage: Rated for 450/750V, suitable for low-voltage circuits.
    • Temperature: Operates in environments with temperatures up to 70°C, making it ideal for standard indoor use.
  4. Colour Options:
    Available in multiple colours, such as brown, blue, black, grey, and green/yellow, to easily distinguish between live, neutral, and earth conductors.
Applications of 6491X PVC Cables
  • General Fixed Wiring:
    Widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings for fixed installations.
  • Power and Lighting Circuits:
    Perfect for distributing electricity to lighting and power outlets.
  • Internal Appliance Wiring:
    Suitable for wiring within appliances, provided the cable is enclosed for additional protection.
Key Difference: PVC vs LSZH

Choosing between 6491X (PVC) and 6491B (LSZH) cables depends on the requirements of your installation. Here’s a quick comparison to avoid mistakes:

Feature 6491X PVC Cables 6491B LSZH Cables
Insulation Material Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
Fire Performance Emits more smoke and toxic gases when exposed to fire Emits less smoke and fewer toxic gases, improving air quality during a fire
Applications Suitable for general wiring in conduit or trunking systems Preferred in public buildings or areas with fire safety requirements
Cost Economical, lower cost Slightly more expensive for enhanced safety

It’s crucial to note that 6491X PVC cables should not be used in projects where minimising fire hazards is a priority. For such environments, always opt for 6491B LSZH cables.

Compliance with Standards

The 6491X cable adheres to BS EN 50525-2-31 (previously BS6004), ensuring it meets all necessary UK safety and performance standards. This makes it a reliable choice for fixed installations in low-risk environments.

Installation Considerations

When installing 6491X cables, ensure they are enclosed within suitable conduits or trunking systems. This not only provides mechanical protection but also ensures compliance with UK wiring regulations. Always confirm whether your project requires PVC or LSZH cables to avoid unnecessary safety risks.
