Cavo Braided Copper Cable 2 Core 0.75mm - Ivory

Soft ivory flex with a braided textile sleeve, made up as two core in 0.75mm and supplied as a single continuous length whatever quantity you order. The woven outer covering gives the cable a fabric texture and a neat round profile, so it reads as part of a fitting rather than an afterthought hanging beneath it. The ivory is a warm off-white that sits quietly against pale plaster, painted ceilings and cream or linen shades, and it is VDE approved.

This is the flex to reach for when a pendant, a table lamp or a plug-in light needs new cable, or when a lamp is being made up from parts and the cord is going to be on show. It suits anyone who cares how the drop looks as much as how it works, and it is popular with makers, restorers and anyone matching a run of pendants over a table or an island. We keep it for jobs where plain black or clear cable would look too utilitarian, and we would choose ivory over bright white in a room with warm walls. Keep it to dry indoor rooms, away from damp and heat.

The braid is woven over insulated conductors and the finished cable measures 6mm across, slim enough to sit close to a canopy without bulk. Cut ends should be kept tidy so the sleeve does not fray back along the run. Dust it by drawing a dry cloth gently along the length now and then, and store any spare loosely coiled rather than tightly wound so the braid holds its shape. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same braided flex in white, black, blue, red, purple and lime green, along with plainer flat and figure of eight cables if the run is going to be hidden. Fittings and lampholders are bought separately.

How is the cable supplied if I order several metres?

It is sold by the metre and any quantity you order arrives as one continuous length, so ordering five gives you a single 5m piece rather than five separate metres.

What are the conductor size and overall diameter?

It is a 2 core cable with 0.75mm conductors, and the finished braided flex measures 6mm in overall diameter.

Will the braid fray when I cut it?

Cut ends can loosen if left bare, so trim cleanly and keep the sleeve contained at the end of the run. Handled tidily, the weave stays put.

Can I use it outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. It is intended for dry indoor use, so keep it out of damp areas and away from direct heat.

What shade of ivory is it?

A warm off-white rather than a bright white, which is why it works well next to cream, stone and linen finishes.

Is there a warranty?

It carries a one year warranty.
