6181Y meter tails are single-core electrical cables used to connect the electricity meter to the consumer unit (fuse board) in domestic, commercial, and industrial electrical installations. They are commonly used as mains power supply cables and are manufactured with a flexible stranded copper conductor, PVC insulation, and a durable PVC outer sheath.

6181Y meter tails are available in a range of sizes, with the most common being 16mm², 25mm², and 35mm², depending on the electrical load and installation requirements. They are typically supplied in brown for live conductors, and blue for neutral conductors, in accordance with current UK wiring regulations.

These cables are BASEC approved and manufactured to British Standards, making them suitable for fixed installations where reliable power distribution is required. 6181Y meter tails are widely used by electricians, contractors, and utility installers for connecting incoming mains supplies safely and efficiently.
