        Electra-Cables | 2.5mm Orange Circular Cable 2 Core & Earth | 100m Drum

        The Electra-Cables 2.5mm orange circular cable is a power cable with 2 copper cores and earth conductor, rated 450/750V, manufactured to AS/NZS 5000.1 for submains, sub-circuits, and extension wiring. Supplied as a 100-metre drum with plain annealed copper conductors, PVC insulation rated 90°C, and an orange flame-retardant sheath suitable for fixed installations in conduit, on tray, or underground duct. The cable is commonly ordered for rewires, circuit extensions, and sub-main runs where the 2.5mm² conductor size suits domestic submains and dedicated appliance circuits.

        Rewiring a domestic house or extending an existing sub-circuit often requires a length of heavy-duty power cable that is compliant with Australian Standards and reasonably priced. The Electra-Cables 100-metre drum delivers full-length runs without splicing and can be cut to length on the job, avoiding the waste of smaller cuts and the cost of multiple smaller drums. Most residential rewires and circuit extensions sit comfortably within the 100m supply, and the orange sheath offers high site visibility, making it easy to identify during installation and future maintenance.

        Licensed sparkies value the 2.5mm size because it is a go-to for small submains and dedicated circuits in domestic work. The cable arrives quickly, handles well on the job site, and the flat-rate shipping makes the total cost predictable. Once installed with proper terminations and protection, the cable sits reliably inside conduit or buried ducts for decades without degradation, and the proven Electra-Cables brand keeps repeat orders simple — no need to shop around once a sparky finds a reliable supplier.

        Features

        • 450/750V rated — complies with AS/NZS 5000.1 for safe use on domestic mains and submains circuits protected by standard circuit breakers or RCDs.
        • 2 core + earth construction — supplies active, neutral, and earth conductors for single-phase circuits, reducing the need to run separate earth cable and simplifying termination at distribution boards.
        • 2.5mm² plain annealed copper cores — stranded construction for flexibility during installation, suitable for cable glands and termination lugs rated for the 2.5mm size.
        • PVC V-90 insulation — rated for 90°C continuous operation, providing thermal headroom and protecting against physical damage and environmental exposure inside conduit or duct.
        • Orange flame-retardant sheath — highly visible on-site for rapid identification during install and future maintenance, and IEC 60332-1-2 flame-retardant rating confirms no rapid flame spread under fault conditions.
        • 100-metre drum — full length eliminates mid-run splicing for most domestic rewires and sub-circuit extensions, and reduces offcut waste compared to shorter lengths.
        • 10mm overall diameter — compact size fits easily through cable glands, conduit, and tight pathways, and simplifies handling and storage on site.
        • Earth conductor rated 1.5mm² — meets AS/NZS 3000 for earth fault clearance on domestic single-phase circuits, and sized to carry fault current safely without sacrificing cable diameter.
        • Unarmoured construction — suitable for protected installation in conduit, on cable tray, or in underground ducts; direct burial without conduit requires armoured versions to protect against mechanical damage.
        • Core colour coding — red (active), black (neutral), and green/yellow (earth) comply with AS/NZS 3000 for rapid identification and safe termination, reducing errors on the switchboard.

        Where to use

        • Domestic rewiring projects — the 2.5mm cable is a standard spec for replacing old wiring in full rewires, and the 100-metre drum covers most residential runs without splicing mid-circuit.
        • Sub-circuit extensions — extending power from the switchboard to new outlets, appliances, or garden installations where the 2.5mm size provides adequate capacity for general-purpose loads.
        • Sub-main installations — running from the meter or main switchboard to a sub-board in larger homes or minor renovation additions, where dedicated protection simplifies diagnostics and future modification.
        • Kitchen and laundry rewiring — high-load areas commonly upgraded to 2.5mm cable when replacing legacy single-purpose circuits with shared sub-main infrastructure.
        • Outdoor building and shed supplies — buried in conduit or underground duct to supply power for work sheds, garden studios, and outdoor entertainment spaces where the 100-metre length avoids splicing.
        • Renovation and extension work — meeting modern electrical codes when adding rooms, creating open-plan living, or installing new load centers as part of house additions.
        • Industrial and commercial light-duty wiring — suitable for small machines, workshop circuits, and signage where the 450/750V rating and PVC durability provide reliable performance.

        The Electra-Cables 2.5mm orange circular cable is not suitable for external overhead installation, direct burial without conduit or armoured protection, or high-temperature environments exceeding 90°C continuous operation. Do not expose unprotected cable to UV sunlight or mechanical damage on open construction sites; always encase in approved conduit or ductwork. The 450/750V rating does not apply to installations exceeding 750V phase-to-neutral; consult AS/NZS 3000 and engage a licensed electrician if you are uncertain about circuit voltage or protection requirements.

        The Electra-Cables 2.5mm cable is rated 450/750V and complies with AS/NZS 5000.1. It is suitable for single-phase domestic mains and submains circuits protected by a standard 10A, 16A, 20A, or 32A circuit breaker or RCD. Do not install this cable on circuits exceeding 750V phase-to-neutral.

        No. The cable must be installed in approved conduit, buried in a PVC duct, or placed on cable tray in protected pathways. Direct burial without conduit exposes the cable to mechanical damage and puncture; armoured orange circular cable is available for direct-burial applications. Always consult the installation drawings and your supervising engineer if you are uncertain about burial depth or protection requirements.

        The 100-metre drum is a single continuous length of cable with no mid-run splices. This eliminates the need for joint kits or termination boxes on extended runs and simplifies testing and troubleshooting. The entire length is ready to pull and terminate as delivered.

        The three cores are colour-coded as follows: red (active), black (neutral), and green/yellow striped (earth). These comply with AS/NZS 3000 and must be terminated correctly at the switchboard. Never swap the colours or terminate active and neutral incorrectly, as this creates a serious safety hazard. A licensed electrician must perform all terminations.

        The earth conductor is rated 1.5mm² and meets AS/NZS 3000 for domestic single-phase circuits. The size is chosen to safely carry earth fault current and clear protective devices within the required time, while keeping the overall cable diameter manageable for gland and conduit installations. Consult AS/NZS 3008 if you require verification for specific circuit lengths or load conditions.

        The cable is not UV-resistant and must not be exposed to direct sunlight unprotected. The orange sheath provides flame-retardance (IEC 60332-1-2) for compliance indoors but will degrade if left exposed to weather. Always install in conduit, duct, or tray and provide weatherproof glands at outdoor cable entries. For permanent outdoor aerial or exposed routes, specify armoured cable with UV-resistant outer sheath.
