Telephone cable ShiverPeaks 76860-50 6x2x0.6 mm round for in-wall installation

Round telephone cable ShiverPeaks 76860-50 with six pairs of conductors and 0.6 mm conductor diameter is intended for in-wall installation in residential and commercial buildings. The cable bundles multiple twisted pairs inside a single round sheath to support fixed telephone lines and low-voltage communication connections between wall-mounted points and internal distribution panels. Its construction suits permanent installation behind plaster, inside conduits or distribution trunks where multiple subscriber lines or low-speed data links are required.

Advantages

The cable offers six individually twisted pairs that reduce crosstalk and maintain signal integrity over short to medium distances. A round, single-sheath design simplifies routing through conduits and behind plaster while providing mechanical protection for the pairs. The 0.6 mm conductor diameter provides a balance between flexibility and conductive area suitable for standard analogue voice lines and low-voltage signalling. The product is supplied on a continuous 50 m length for convenient measurement and installation.

Suitable for

• Fixed analogue telephone wiring in apartments and offices
• Internal low-voltage communication runs between distribution points
• Wall-mounted telephone sockets and small PBX extensions
• Retrofit or new in-wall installations and conduit routing

Key specifications

• Configuration: 6 pairs of twisted conductors (6x2)
• Conductor diameter: 0.6 mm
• Cable shape: round sheath for in-wall installation
• Intended use: fixed telephone and low-voltage communication wiring
• Length: 50 m continuous reel

How to use

Plan the routing to avoid sources of strong electromagnetic interference and ensure compliance with local electrical installation rules. Cut the cable to required lengths and strip the outer sheath carefully to access the twisted pairs without nicking conductors. Terminate pairs at wall sockets, patch panels or junction boxes using appropriate connectors and follow standard colour-coding for consistent line identification. Secure the cable within the wall or conduit, leaving service loops where necessary for maintenance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep runs within recommended distances for analogue or low-speed signalling and avoid bundling near high-voltage power cables. Use insulation-displacement or screw-type terminals designed for 0.6 mm conductors and ensure mechanical strain relief at entry points.
