Cavo Braided Twisted Copper Cable 3 Core 0.75mm - Grey

Grey braided flex with a twisted three core construction, for anyone who wants the cable to look as considered as the fitting it feeds. The outer braid is woven over the cores and twisted along its length, so it holds a gentle spiral rather than lying dead straight. The conductors are 0.75mm, the usual size for domestic lighting flex, and the cable is VDE approved. We sell it by the metre and supply the quantity you order as a single continuous run, with no joins along the drop.

It is the flex we reach for when rewiring a pendant, a floor lamp or a table lamp, and its earth core suits metal fittings, which need an earth alongside live and neutral. Grey is the quiet option: it disappears against a pale ceiling and settles into darker walls, while still reading as a deliberate choice rather than a builder's leftover. It suits dry indoor rooms, so kitchens, hallways, bedrooms and living rooms are all fair game; we would keep it away from bathroom zones and anywhere outdoors.

The braid is tightly woven and sits close to the cores, and the twist is set into the cable rather than something you have to persuade into place. Grey shows less marking than pale braids and keeps its colour well. To keep it looking fresh, run a dry cloth along the weave from time to time, since a braided surface picks up dust more readily than smooth PVC; it should not be washed or dampened. It carries a one year warranty. The same braided finish runs through the range in two core, in black, white, red, blue, purple and lime green, alongside plain and clear flat cables if you would rather the flex went unnoticed.

How thick is the finished cable?

The overall diameter is 5.3mm, including the braided covering, which keeps it slim enough to pass through most pendant cord grips and ceiling plates.

How is the length supplied?

It is sold in 1m units, and whatever quantity you order arrives as one unbroken piece rather than separate metre lengths.

Can I use it outdoors or in a shower area?

No. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry indoor rooms only.

What size are the conductors?

Three cores at 0.75mm, the standard size used for domestic lighting flex, and the cable is VDE approved.

How should I clean the braid?

Wipe along the weave with a dry cloth. Water, sprays and solvents should be kept away from it, as a damp braid marks and can lift.

Is there a warranty?

It carries a one year warranty.
