Description
This is a braided two core flex, ordered by the metre and supplied as a single continuous run whatever quantity you ask for. The conductors are 0.75mm and the woven outer sleeve mixes black with white, giving a fine speckled look that reads dark from a distance. It is VDE approved. Braided flex like this began as a period detail, and now it is as much about keeping a visible drop looking deliberate.
We reach for it when a spot cluster or a small pendant needs new flex and plain white sleeving would look too plain. Fabric braid earns its keep in open kitchens, studios and workshops where the cable is on show for its whole run, and it is a favourite with anyone building a light of their own or shortening a shop bought one. Buying by the metre means you take only what the job needs, with a little spare for dressing the run tidily. Being a light duty flex, it is meant for small fittings on a domestic circuit rather than heavy appliances.
The braid is woven tightly over the insulated cores, so the round profile stays even along the length and the cable holds its shape where it hangs rather than sagging into kinks. Dust lifts off the weave with a dry cloth or a soft brush, and we would keep solvents well away, since they mark braid and leave it looking patchy. Offcuts are best coiled loosely instead of folded. It carries a one year warranty. The same braided flex is on our shelves in plain black and in white, and in red, blue, purple and lime green if you want the cable to be part of the design rather than hidden.

Frequently Asked
If I order several metres, will they arrive as separate pieces?
No. The cable is priced in 1m units, and the quantity you order is cut and sent as one unbroken length.
How thick is the finished cable?
The overall diameter is 6mm, including the braided sleeve, which keeps it slim enough to sit close to a small spot fitting.
How many cores does it have?
Two, at 0.75mm each. There is no earth core, so it is intended for fittings that do not call for one.
How should I look after the braid?
Wipe it with a dry cloth or brush it gently with something soft. Water, sprays and solvents can stain the weave and flatten its texture.
Is the cable approved for use in the UK?
Yes, it is VDE approved, and it is supplied with a one year warranty from the maker.
