Question 1

What is Ducab PVC Single Core Cable, 1.5 mm² yellow best used for?

Accepted Answer

This is a flexible single-core copper wire with yellow PVC insulation, designed for lighting and small-power circuits. The yellow color helps identify earth/ground lines, making it suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring, including use in hot, sandy UAE environments.

Question 2

What are the key specifications I should know about this cable?

Accepted Answer

Conductor: high-conductivity copper; Cross-section: 1.5 mm²; Insulation: yellow PVC; Length: 100 yards per spool; Flexible copper conductors; Suitable for low-voltage applications; Durable insulation; Color-coded for easy identification; Designed for temperature stability and wear resistance.

Question 3

How does this 1.5 mm² yellow cable compare to Ducab’s 1.0 mm² yellow single-core cable?

Accepted Answer

The 1.5 mm² version carries more current and typically has a lower voltage drop over the same distance than the 1.0 mm² cable, making it better for slightly higher loads. For lighter loads, the 1.0 mm² may suffice. See the 1.0 mm² option here: https://fepy.com/products/ducab-pvc-single-core-cable-1-0mm-yellow

Question 4

And how does it compare to Ducab’s 2.5 mm² yellow single-core cable?

Accepted Answer

The 2.5 mm² variant can carry substantially more current and is suited for heavier circuits, with lower voltage drop under higher loads. Choose 2.5 mm² for larger applications and 1.5 mm² for moderate loads. See the 2.5 mm² option here: https://fepy.com/products/ducab-pvc-single-core-cable-2-5mm-yellow

Question 5

Can I use this cable outdoors or in damp environments?

Accepted Answer

The cable is designed for general wiring with yellow PVC insulation and is suitable for dry indoor locations and general-purpose use. If you need outdoor exposure or damp environments, use appropriate weather-rated or conduit-protected installations and follow local electrical codes.

Question 6

What is the recommended stripping length and termination method for this cable?

Accepted Answer

Strip the conductor ends to expose enough copper for a secure connection (typically around 7–12 mm, depending on the terminal). Use appropriate connectors or terminal blocks rated for 1.5 mm² and avoid nicking or damaging the insulation during stripping.

Question 7

What safety and compliance considerations should I keep in mind?

Accepted Answer

Follow local electrical codes and standards, ensure the conductor size matches the load, keep cables away from heat sources, and use proper protection (such as conduits or enclosures) in accordance with the installation environment. Color coding (yellow) helps identify earth/ground paths to reduce wiring mistakes.

Question 8

Is this wire compatible with standard terminals and connectors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 1.5 mm² single-core wires are commonly compatible with standard low-voltage terminals and connectors. Always verify that your terminal or connector is rated for 1.5 mm² conductors and for the intended current.

Question 9

What is the return policy for this product?

Accepted Answer

Fepy typically accepts returns within a specified window (e.g., 30 days) for unused items with proof of purchase. Check your order details for the exact return window and conditions.

Question 10

Why is the yellow color important for safety?

Accepted Answer

Yellow insulation is commonly used to indicate earth/ground conductors in many wiring standards, helping to quickly identify safety-critical paths and reduce the risk of mis-wiring during installation.

Question 11

What are common use cases for this cable?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for lighting circuits, small-power feeders, residential wiring, light commercial installations, and indoor wiring runs where a flexible 1.5 mm² copper conductor is appropriate and color-coded earth identification is beneficial.

Question 12

How do I determine if 1.5 mm² is the right size for my circuit?

Accepted Answer

Calculate the expected load (in amps) and compare it to the ampacity rating for 1.5 mm² copper conductors in your region. Consider voltage drop over the run length and choose a cross-section that meets both current and distance requirements. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician or refer to local electrical codes.
