If you are looking for premium quality 50mm² to 150mm² 6181XY Meter Tails, we supply a wide range of heavy-duty double insulated cables designed for commercial, industrial, and high-current electrical installations. Unlike standard PVC insulated meter tails, 6181XY Meter Tails feature XLPE insulated conductors, offering significantly improved thermal performance, durability, and current carrying capacity.
The XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation provides enhanced heat resistance and electrical performance, allowing the cable to operate at higher conductor temperatures compared to standard PVC insulated alternatives. This makes 6181XY Meter Tails an excellent choice for demanding mains power distribution applications where reliability and performance are critical.
These meter tails are ideal for use between electricity meters, switchgear, service heads, panel boards, generators, and distribution boards.
Benefits of 6181XY Meter Tails:
XLPE insulated conductors for improved thermal performance
Higher temperature rating than standard PVC insulated tails
Excellent current carrying capacity
Double insulated for increased safety
Strong and durable PVC outer sheath
Suitable for commercial and industrial power installations
Flexible and easy to install
Manufactured to British Standards
Available in sizes from 50mm² to 150mm²
Ideal for high-load electrical applications
Our 6181XY Meter Tails are available in Black, Brown, Blue, and Green/Yellow earth cable options, with competitive pricing and fast UK delivery available.
