The thickness feels consistent and substantial along the full length, with no thin or weak spots. Flexibility is good too, making it easy to route around corners and through tight spaces without excessive kinking or stiffness. Identification is clear and straightforward, with the live, neutral, and earth cores easy to distinguish at a glance, which makes wiring work much more straightforward. The outer sheathing is tough and easy to work with, stripping cleanly without fraying. Being BASEC approved gives peace of mind that it meets proper safety standards. Used as part of a ring main installation carried out with appropriate care, and it performed exactly as expected. Good value for genuine compliant cable rather than questionable cheaper alternatives.” Review: Excellent quality cable for DIY electrical work - I bought the 2.5mm Twin and Earth Flat Grey PVC Lighting Electric Cable (5m) for a small wiring job, and it turned out perfect. The build quality feels solid -the insulation is thick and durable, yet the wire is flexible enough to work with easily. It connects smoothly to sockets and fittings without any fuss, and the markings on the sheath make identification simple. After installation, it’s been performing exactly as expected with no issues. For the price, it’s great value - reliable, safe, and ideal for DIY or small home electrical projects. Delivered quickly and definitely a product I’d use again. Pros: ✔ Strong insulation and good flexibility ✔ Easy to strip and install ✔ Handles load reliably ✔ Good value for money ✔ Arrived quickly Cons: ✖ None so far - does exactly what it’s meant to Final Verdict: A dependable, well-made cable that’s easy to work with and perfect for small electrical setups. Great quality at a fair price. ## Features - BASEC Approved, UKAS Certified Twin & Earth Electric Cable Cut to various predefined lengths - Cut to various predefined lengths - Available in 6mm - 6mm is Suitable for Lighting Circuits,Cooker,Oven, Ring Mains and Electrical Sockets - 6mm Twin & Earth is commonly used for high powered electrical circuits such as electric showers, electric hob cookers etc. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09G6QBFNJ | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,477 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 4 in Electrical Wire | | Brand | Primes DIY | | Colour | Grey | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,325 Reviews | | Included Components | 6 MM Twin and Earth Cable 2 meters | | Manufacturer | Primes Diy | | Manufacturer Part Number | 6mm Twin and Earth 6242Y | | Material | Copper | | No. of wires | 3 | | Number Of Wires | 3 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of cable strands | Multi Strand | | Number of items | 1 | | Strands | Multi Strand | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wire Diameter | 6 Millimetres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Primes DIY - **Colour:** Blue,Grey,Brown - **Gauge:** 10.0 - **Material:** Copper - **Number of cable strands:** Multi Strand ## Images ![Primes DIY Electric Socket wire cable 6mm Twin and Earth Flat Grey PVC Lighting Electric Cable 6242Y electrical Wire BASEC Approved (2 Meter) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711m10UKZ2L.jpg) ![Primes DIY Electric Socket wire cable 6mm Twin and Earth Flat Grey PVC Lighting Electric Cable 6242Y electrical Wire BASEC Approved (2 Meter) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nrSqhJSBL.jpg) ![Primes DIY Electric Socket wire cable 6mm Twin and Earth Flat Grey PVC Lighting Electric Cable 6242Y electrical Wire BASEC Approved (2 Meter) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cYwmGuXBL.jpg) ![Primes DIY Electric Socket wire cable 6mm Twin and Earth Flat Grey PVC Lighting Electric Cable 6242Y electrical Wire BASEC Approved (2 Meter) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81z04jTMJBL.jpg) ![Primes DIY Electric Socket wire cable 6mm Twin and Earth Flat Grey PVC Lighting Electric Cable 6242Y electrical Wire BASEC Approved (2 Meter) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZO-b2z47L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Cable Length** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality cable, BASEC approved *by M***N on 30 June 2026* “Solid quality 4mm twin and earth cable that feels well made and properly insulated.
