Orange Circular Building Cable 3 Core and Earth (4G) 2.5mm

Description

2.5mm² three core and earth, any length you need.

For runs that need three insulated 2.5mm² conductors with an earth, separate single cables add pulls and bulk. The APEC MVM205E03 bundles red, white and blue 2.5mm² cores with a 2.5mm² earth in one orange sheath to AS/NZS 5000.2, and is sold per metre.

Why It Matters

Heavier Conductors in a Three Core Format

The MVM205E03 keeps the three core plus earth layout while stepping each conductor up to 2.5mm². Every core, including the earth, is 2.5mm² annealed copper with 0.7mm of V90 insulation, all held in a 1.3mm orange 5V90 sheath. At roughly 12.2mm across, it is a compact way to route four conductors together, and the single sheath keeps the run neat where it passes through walls, ceilings and conduit.

Length on Demand

Need 18 metres for a single run, or 75 for a larger job? Put the figure in when you order and the cable is cut to suit. You avoid paying for drum stock you will not use, and your job costs reflect only the cable that goes into the wall or conduit.

Built and Installed to Standard

APEC manufactures this cable to AS/NZS 5000.2 for a 450/750V rating, with insulation and sheath compounds that support a 90°C continuous conductor temperature. Check conductor size against the circuit load and run length using AS/NZS 3008.1.1, and have the installation completed by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000.

Q: What colour are the cores in APEC MVM205E03?
A: The three power cores are red, white and blue, the earth core is green/yellow, and the outer sheath is orange.

Q: What weight should I allow for APEC MVM205E03 cable?
A: APEC lists approximately 22.1kg per 100 metres, which works out to about 0.221kg for every metre ordered.

Q: Can I order an odd length of MVM205E03?
A: Yes. The cable is sold per metre, so any whole number of metres you enter is the length supplied.
