Product Information
This 100m coil of 1.5mm² 6193B flat twin cable has a full-size insulated earth. It is intended for fixed wiring such as lighting circuits, where the wiring rules call for a sleeved green/yellow protective conductor in place of a bare, reduced-size earth. The live and neutral cores are brown and blue, and the earth core is a full 1.5mm², so no sleeving is needed.
The cable is made to the Irish standard IS 201-4 and suits installations that must comply with the Republic of Ireland wiring rules. Both the insulation and the white outer sheath are low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) polyethylene. In a fire it produces less smoke than PVC cable and releases no halogen acid gases.
- Two 1.5mm² cores plus a full-size 1.5mm² insulated earth
- Brown, blue and green/yellow core colours
- LSZH insulation and white LSZH sheath
- 300/500V rated, for fixed indoor installations
- Supplied in a 100m coil
Select cable size by design, taking account of the load, protective device, installation method and voltage drop.

Frequently Asked Questions
6193B is made to the Irish standard IS 201-4 and is designed to meet the Republic of Ireland wiring rules, which call for a full-size insulated earth. It is not a BS 6004 or BS 7211 cable. Before using it on a job designed to BS 7671, confirm with the designer or specifier that it is acceptable, and check the manufacturer's data for the figures you need.
There is no single figure. Current-carrying capacity depends on the installation method, whether the cable is in contact with thermal insulation, grouping with other circuits, ambient temperature and the protective device. Use the tables in BS 7671 Appendix 4 (or the equivalent ET 101 tables in the Republic of Ireland) with the relevant correction factors, and check voltage drop for the circuit length.
No. The manufacturer's datasheet describes it as a cable for general fixed installations and states that it cannot be used externally. It has no armour or mechanical protection, so it is not suitable for direct burial. For outdoor or underground runs, choose a cable designed for that purpose, such as a suitable armoured cable, and follow current wiring regulations.
Both the insulation and the white sheath use low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) polyethylene. If the cable is involved in a fire it produces less dense smoke than standard PVC and does not release halogen acid gases. This helps visibility and reduces corrosive fumes, which is why LSZH cables are often specified for escape routes, public buildings and enclosed spaces.
