Description
This is a round braided flex with a silver woven outer sleeve, sold by the metre and supplied as a single continuous run for whatever quantity you order. Beneath the braid sit two insulated cores at 0.75mm, and the finished cable measures 6mm across, so it stays slim where it shows and neat where it does not. Silver runs through the weave evenly, giving a soft sheen rather than a shine. It is VDE approved.
We reach for flex like this wherever the cable is part of what you see: pendant sets hung over a dining table, table and floor lamps, and older pieces whose original flex has tired and gone yellow. The silver braid reads cool and faintly metallic, which sits well with chrome, nickel and polished steel, and it holds its own against a white ceiling rather than vanishing into it. It suits anyone who would rather the cable matched the lampholder than hid behind it, and in a room already busy with pattern a plain weave keeps things calm.
The braid is woven tightly over the insulated cores, so the surface stays smooth to the hand and the flex holds a gentle curve rather than kinking. Silver is a light finish and shows dust in the weave, so wipe it over now and again with a clean dry cloth; nothing wet, and no solvents, which would dull the fibres. It carries a one year warranty. The same braided flex runs through this range in black, white, blue, red, purple and lime green, and we also keep PVC sheathed cable in black and clear, plus flatter profiles for LED work, if you would rather the cable receded.

Frequently Asked
How is the cable supplied if I order several metres?
The quantity you order is cut and sent as one continuous length, so ordering 5 means a single 5m run rather than five separate metres.
What size are the conductors?
It is a two core cable with 0.75mm cores, and the overall diameter is 6mm.
Is it approved for use in the UK?
Yes, it is a VDE approved flex, which is the standard you would expect to see on lighting cable of this type.
How do I keep the braid looking clean?
A clean, dry cloth drawn along the length lifts dust out of the weave. Avoid water, sprays and solvents, as they can flatten or discolour the fibres.
Does the silver come in other shades in this range?
The same braided cable is stocked in black, white, blue, red, purple and lime green, so you can match the flex to the fitting or the wall behind it.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a one year warranty.
