Description
Braided fabric over the sheath gives this three core flex a soft, woven surface in plain white, so the cable reads as part of the fitting rather than something to be hidden away. The weave is fine and even, with no pattern running through it. Conductor size is 0.75mm and the cable is VDE approved. It is ordered by the metre and supplied as a single continuous length, so you can take exactly what a job asks for without joins along the run.
We reach for it when a pendant or a plug-in table lamp needs its flex renewed, and particularly where the drop is on show: over a kitchen island, down a stairwell, or from a ceiling rose in a hallway. White sits quietly against pale ceilings and light walls, and it works well with a white shade or a chrome lampholder. With an earth conductor included, this is the version for metal fittings, rather than the two core flexes we keep for double insulated pieces. It is a favourite with anyone reviving an older lamp or making something up from parts.
The braid is tightly woven and holds its shape when coiled or looped, and the round profile takes a gentle curve without kinking. To keep it looking fresh, run a dry cloth along the braid now and then; fabric picks up dust more readily than a smooth PVC flex, and solvent cleaners will mark the weave. It carries a one year warranty, and is intended for interior use in dry rooms. We stock the braided two core cable in this same white, along with black, blue, red, purple and lime green, so a matching drop or a deliberate flash of colour is easy to put together across a set of pendants.

Frequently Asked
How is the cable supplied if I order several metres?
It is sold in 1m units and the quantity you order arrives as one continuous length, so ordering five gives you a single 5m piece rather than five separate metres.
How thick is the cable overall?
The finished cable measures 6mm in diameter, which suits most standard cord grips and lampholder entries.
Why choose three core over two core?
The third conductor is the earth, so this is the one to use with fittings that have exposed metal parts. Double insulated fittings only need two core.
What does the 0.75mm figure refer to?
It is the cross-sectional area of each conductor, the common size for domestic lighting flex and typical pendant and table lamp loads.
How do I keep the white braid clean?
Wipe along the length with a dry or barely damp cloth while the circuit is off. Avoid solvents, bleach and abrasive creams, as they will discolour or fray the weave.
Will it stay flexible for a rise and fall pendant?
Yes, the round braided construction bends and recoils without taking a permanent set, so it suits fittings that are raised and lowered.
