Orange Circular Building Cable 4 Core and Earth (5G) 2.5mm

Description

Five 2.5mm² conductors, one orange cable.

Installing four active conductors and an earth as separate cables means more pulls, more fixings and a busier route. The APEC MVM205E04 brings all five together — four 2.5mm² cores plus a 2.5mm² earth — in a circular 5V90 sheath to AS/NZS 5000.2, cut per metre.

Key Features:

• Four cores plus earth (4C+E) circular cable
• All five conductors 2.5mm² annealed copper
• Voltage rated 450/750V, built to AS/NZS 5000.2
• Insulated with V90 PVC averaging 0.7mm
• PVC 5V90 orange sheath averaging 1.3mm
• 90°C continuous conductor temperature
• Core colours: red, white, blue, black and green/yellow
• Approx. overall diameter 13.2mm
• Approx. 26.9kg per 100m
• Cut to the number of metres you specify

Why It Matters

Full-Size Earth Across Five Conductors

In the MVM205E04 the earth is not reduced: it matches the four 2.5mm² active cores, giving five conductors of the same annealed copper cross-section. Each one is insulated with 0.7mm of V90 PVC and identified by colour — red, white, blue, black and green/yellow — beneath a 1.3mm orange 5V90 sheath. Because every conductor shares the same 2.5mm² size, terminations stay consistent from one end of the run to the other, with no smaller earth to accommodate.

Plan the Weight, Then the Length

With an approximate mass of 26.9kg per 100m and an overall diameter of about 13.2mm, this cable is easy to plan for handling and routing. Because it is sold per metre, you can match the order to your take-off — 20 metres or 150 — without buying a whole drum.

Compliance From Cable to Install

Manufacture to AS/NZS 5000.2 gives the MVM205E04 its 450/750V rating, and its V90 and 5V90 compounds allow a continuous conductor temperature of 90°C. Confirm that 2.5mm² conductors suit your circuit with AS/NZS 3008.1.1, and ensure a licensed electrician installs and tests it under AS/NZS 3000.

Q: How many conductors are in APEC MVM205E04 cable?
A: Five: four 2.5mm² power cores coloured red, white, blue and black, plus a 2.5mm² green/yellow earth.

Q: What is the sheath thickness of APEC MVM205E04?
A: The orange PVC 5V90 sheath has an average thickness of 1.3mm, over 0.7mm V90 insulation on each core.

Q: Do I have to buy MVM205E04 by the drum?
A: No. This listing is priced per metre, so you only pay for the length entered at checkout, with no leftover cable to store.
