Cavo Braided Copper Cable 2 Core 0.75mm - Dark Blue

This is flexible cable in a deep, dark blue textile braid, woven over two core 0.75mm conductors and cut to order so it arrives as a continuous run rather than short offcuts. The braid sits at roughly 6mm across, slim enough to look neat where the flex hangs in full view, and it holds a gentle curve without the shine of bare plastic. It is VDE approved, and we keep it on the shelf as one of the more useful things in the drawer.

Colour on show is the point of it. We reach for a braided flex like this on pendant sets over a kitchen island, on rise and fall fittings above a dining table, and when a favourite table or floor lamp needs its lead put right. Dark blue reads almost black in low light and then shows its colour properly by day, which makes it easy to live with against white ceilings, painted panelling or a dark shelf. It belongs in dry indoor rooms, and it suits anyone building a light from parts or matching a flex to a shade they already own.

The woven sleeve is the working surface here, and it takes handling well: pull a dry cloth along its length now and then to lift dust, and keep it clear of standing water and oven splashes. Switch off at the wall before any lamp it feeds is handled. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same braided flex in blue, black, white, red, purple and lime green, so a run can be matched across several fittings in one room or deliberately mismatched pendant by pendant. If a braid is not what the fitting wants, the range also runs to plain round and flat cable in clear and black. Order the length you need and it comes as one piece.

How much cable do I get per unit?

Each unit is one metre. Order the quantity you need and it is supplied as a single continuous length, so ten units arrive as one ten metre run rather than ten separate pieces.

What size are the conductors?

It is a two core cable with 0.75mm conductors, with an overall diameter of about 6mm including the braided sleeve.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

No. It is rated IP20 and should stay in dry indoor rooms, away from rain, splashing and damp outbuildings.

How do I keep the braid looking good?

Wipe along the braid with a dry cloth to lift dust. Avoid soaking it or using solvents, as damp fibres and harsh cleaners will mark the weave.

Does it come in other colours?

Yes. The braided version is stocked in blue, black, white, red, purple and lime green alongside this dark blue, and there are plain round and flat cables in clear and black.

Is there a warranty?

It carries a one year warranty.
