Description

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

The 16mm Brown Meter Tail is a flexible, double-insulated 6181Y cable designed for domestic and commercial installations. Built with a 19-strand copper core, it offers superior flexibility for quick, tidy connections between the electricity meter and consumer unit.


A Better Alternative to Standard Meter Tails – Flexible 16mm Brown Meter Tail

This cable is different from the usual 7-strand tails. It has 19 copper strands inside, which means it bends more easily. Electricians can shape it with less effort, even in tight spaces. That makes it quicker and safer to work with.
