Description
A slim, flat twin cable in a clear sheath, this is the flex to choose when you would rather the cable went quietly than announced itself. Two cores sit side by side in a low ribbon profile, each at 1.0mm, which gives a little more capacity than the lighter gauges while keeping that thin, unobtrusive shape. It is VDE approved, and whatever quantity you order arrives as one continuous run rather than a bundle of short cut pieces.
Clear flex earns its keep wherever the cable is going to be seen: against pale plaster, behind glass and acrylic fittings, or trailing from a light-toned shade where a coloured braid would fight with everything around it. We reach for this one when we are putting older table and floor lamps back into service, and for smaller decorative and display lighting where the wiring cannot be hidden away. It is sold by the metre, so you can take exactly what the run asks for with a sensible margin over, and it suits anyone happy working with lighting parts or a trade customer keeping a reel of the practical gauges to hand.
The sheath is smooth and colourless, so the twin conductors read as a faint line rather than a dark stripe, and it stays flexible enough to follow gentle curves without kinking. Keep it looking right by drawing a dry cloth along the length now and then to lift dust from the surface, and give the run a quick look over for nicks or snagging while you are there. It carries a one year warranty. The range runs across the gauges and colours we are asked for most often, including the same clear finish in a heavier flat gauge, softer braided flex in black, white and several strong colours, and figure of eight cable for LED work, so a whole project can be wired in one look.

Frequently Asked
What is the cross-sectional area of each core?
Each of the two cores is 1.0mm, which sits between the 0.75mm and 1.5mm options in the same range.
How is it supplied if I order several metres?
The quantity you order is supplied as one continuous length, not as separate one metre pieces, so you can cut it to suit your own run.
How slim is the cable?
The flat profile measures 6mm across by 3mm thick, so it lies close and reads as a thin line rather than a round cord.
Is the cable approved?
Yes, it is VDE approved.
Will the clear sheath discolour?
Keep it clean and away from heat and it should stay clear. Wipe it with a dry cloth rather than solvents or cleaning sprays, which can cloud or soften the surface.
Is there a clear option in a heavier gauge?
Yes, the same clear flat cable is offered in a 1.5mm two core version, and there is a clear 0.75mm cable in the range as well.
