Description

Flexible 16mm Blue Meter Tail – Sold Per Metre – Supplied by UK Cables

The 16mm Double Insulated Flexible Meter Tail is a soft, bendable 6181Y cable ideal for fast and tidy electrical work. Supplied by UK Cables, it’s designed for easy handling and smooth installation. It is sold by the metre, giving you full control over length and waste.


Easy to Use, Safer to Install

This tail uses a 19-strand copper core, making it far more flexible than regular 7-strand meter tails. It folds easily into tight spaces and is less likely to kink or stress terminals. You’ll get a cleaner, faster install that electricians prefer.
