Description
Two conductors run together, twisted and wrapped in a braided sleeve, so the cable has a gentle spiral to it rather than a flat, extruded look. The purple is muted and slightly dusty, closer to heather than violet, and the weave catches light along its length. Cores are 0.75mm, the usual size for pendants and lamps around the house, and it is VDE approved. Order several and it arrives as one continuous length, so there are no joins to work around.
Fabric flex earns its keep where the cable is on show: a pendant over a kitchen island, a row of bare bulb lights above a bar, a bedside lamp whose original cord has gone stiff and yellow. Purple is a quieter choice than it sounds, sitting as a soft accent against white walls and all but disappearing against darker paint. We stock the braided colours because so many customers want the flex to match the shade or the ceiling rose rather than vanish, and it suits anyone building a light from parts.
The braid gives the cable body and a little grip, and it holds its twist rather than uncoiling in the hand. Keep it to dry indoor rooms, away from heat. For cleaning, run a dry cloth along the length; the weave will gather dust in time, and solvents or a damp cloth will mark it. It carries a one year warranty. The same braid comes in black, white, red, blue and lime green if you would rather pick up another colour in the room, and there are clear and flat cables in the range for work better left unnoticed.

Frequently Asked
How is the cable supplied if I order more than one metre?
It is sold in one metre units and cut as a single continuous run, so ordering four gives you a 4m length rather than four separate pieces.
What is the overall diameter?
Roughly 5.3mm across the twisted pair, including the braided sleeve.
What size are the conductors?
Two cores at 0.75mm, which is the common size for pendant sets and table and floor lamps.
Is it suitable for damp or outdoor use?
No. It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry interior rooms.
How do I keep the braid looking clean?
Wipe along the length with a dry cloth. Avoid solvents, polishes and damp cloths, as they can stain or flatten the weave.
Does it come in other colours?
Yes, the same braided 0.75mm cable is offered in black, white, red, blue and lime green.
