Save Power with Class 2 Cables: The Efficient Choice for Your Wiring

The cable inside a wall is a long-term decision. Selecting a conductor with the right construction and cross-sectional area helps appliances receive the voltage they need while reducing waste in the wiring itself.

What is a Class 2 conductor?

Class 2 refers to a stranded conductor construction used for fixed installations. Multiple copper strands provide useful flexibility without giving up the dependable current-carrying performance expected from permanent wiring.

Where the saving comes from

• Lower resistance reduces power dissipated as unwanted heat.
• Lower voltage drop helps connected equipment operate closer to its intended voltage.
• Durable conductors reduce the likelihood of premature rewiring and associated costs.

Safety, installation and value

Efficient wiring is also safer wiring. Correct sizing, certified insulation and professional termination all help control heat and reduce electrical hazards. Class 2 construction is flexible enough for practical installation while remaining suitable for fixed circuits.

IEC 60228 defines conductor classes and construction requirements. Geften's Class 2 FR-LSH house-wiring range covers common sizes from 1 sq mm to 10 sq mm. A qualified electrician should confirm the correct size for each load.
