Our 6.0mm² Green/Yellow Building Wire is a single-core insulated earth conductor supplied on a 100 metre roll. The green/yellow insulation identifies it as an earthing conductor, making it the go-to cable for main earths, equipotential bonding, switchboard earths and earth runs installed in conduit.

It is built from 7/1.04mm stranded plain annealed copper with V-90 PVC insulation, giving a slim 5.1mm overall diameter and a 0.6/1kV rating. The stranded conductor is easy to pull through conduit and form neatly to earth bars, and the cable is also suitable for glanding. Electricians use it on new switchboard installs, earth stake connections and earthing upgrades, where a properly sized and clearly identified earth is essential.

Key Features

• Green/Yellow Insulation – The recognised earthing colour, so the conductor is easy to identify at every termination.
• 6.0mm² Conductor – A size commonly used for main earth and bonding conductors.
• 7-Strand Copper – Bends and forms more easily than a solid conductor of the same size.
• V-90 PVC Insulation – Insulation rated for a 90°C conductor temperature.
• 0.6/1kV Rating – Insulation rated for low-voltage mains and switchboard wiring.
• Slim 5.1mm Diameter – Saves space in conduit, trunking and crowded switchboards.
• Flexible Stranded Build – Forms neatly around busbars and earth bars.
• Gland Compatible – Suitable for glanding where it enters enclosures and equipment.
• 100m Roll – Plenty of length for multiple earthing runs or switchboard projects.
