Description
Twisted flex dressed in a fabric braid, patterned with a wave stripe so blue and white chase each other along the run. Beneath the braid sit two cores at 0.75mm, twisted rather than laid flat, which gives the cable a springy, rope-like handling and lets it fall in a soft curve. It is ordered by the metre and supplied as a single continuous piece, so there is nothing to join partway down a drop.
We use flex like this where the cable is part of what you see: a pendant dropped over a kitchen island, a run of shades down a stairwell, a plug-in lamp whose lead crosses open shelving. The pattern reads as a fine ripple from a distance and sharpens into a clear stripe up close, which keeps it easy to live with in a room that is already busy. It suits anyone re-flexing an old shade, making up a cluster, or replacing a tired lead on a favourite lamp.
The braid is woven tightly over the insulation so it holds the pattern without fraying at a cut end, and the cable is VDE approved. Keep it away from damp and wipe the braid with a dry cloth or a soft brush; fabric picks up kitchen dust faster than plain PVC, and a quick going-over keeps the white looking white. It carries a one year warranty. The same braided flex is stocked in plain blue, white, black, red, purple and lime green if you would rather the cable disappeared, and there is a clear version alongside black PVC for anything that should stay quiet. We tend to pair a patterned flex with a simple metal shade and leave the fitting plain, so the cable does the talking.

Frequently Asked
How is the cable supplied if I order several metres?
As one continuous length. Each unit is 1000mm, so ordering four gives you a single 4m piece rather than four separate cut lengths.
How thick is the finished cable?
It measures 5.3mm across the outer braid, with two 0.75mm cores inside.
What colours make up the pattern?
Blue and white, woven as a wave stripe that runs the full length of the cable.
Will the braid fray where I cut it?
The weave is tight and holds well, but it is worth cutting cleanly and dressing the end as you make off the cores.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth along the length, or a soft brush worked gently into the weave for dust. Avoid sprays and damp cloths on the braid.
Is there a plainer option in the same range?
Yes. We stock the same braided flex in single colours including blue, white, black, red, purple and lime green, plus clear and black PVC versions.
