What is 6491X Cable?

6491X is a type of single-core cable used for fixed wiring in domestic, commercial, and industrial installations. It has a plain copper conductor with a PVC insulation that offers both strength and flexibility. 6491X cable is often used in conduit or trunking systems to connect distribution boards, switchgear, and lighting circuits.

Difference Between 6491X and 6491B

6491X has PVC insulation, while 6491B uses LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) insulation. LSZH versions produce less smoke and toxic fumes in a fire, making them better for public or enclosed spaces. 6491X remains the standard choice for general use where PVC insulation is suitable.

How to Choose the Right Cable Size

You should select the cable size based on load current and circuit requirements.

• 1.0mm² and 1.5mm² are common for lighting.
• 2.5mm² and 4.0mm² are used for sockets or power circuits.
• 6.0mm² and above are suitable for higher current applications.

Always check current rating tables and follow wiring regulations for correct selection.
