Description
White braided sleeving, twisted along its length, gives this flex a textile face rather than bare plastic, and the twist holds its shape where a run is left on show. It is a three core cable, so an earth travels alongside live and neutral, with conductors of 0.75mm. It is VDE approved. Whatever quantity you order arrives as a single continuous run rather than a bundle of short pieces, so you can trim to the exact drop you want.
This is the flex we reach for when a pendant, a table lamp or a floor lamp needs a fresh lead, and it is just as useful to anyone putting a fitting together from separate parts, since the earth core suits metal bodied lamps and metal shades. White sits quietly against pale ceilings, painted walls and light woodwork, and looks deliberate where the cable is meant to be seen rather than tucked away. Keep it to dry indoor rooms; it is not made for garden use, bathroom zones or anywhere it may be splashed.
The braid covers the inner insulation along the full length, giving the cable a slightly grippy feel and a soft matt look rather than the shine of bare PVC. Its slim diameter keeps it easy to thread through lamp holders and cord grips. To clean, switch the lamp off and unplug it at the socket, then draw a dry cloth along the braid; leave solvents and polishes well alone, as they can mark the weave. It carries a one year warranty. If an earth is not called for, we stock the braided two core cable in white, black, blue, purple, lime green and red, alongside plainer clear and black flexes in the same range.

Frequently Asked
How is the cable supplied if I order several metres?
Each unit is 1m, and the total quantity you order is supplied as one continuous length rather than separate metre pieces, so a five metre order arrives as a single 5m run.
How thick is the cable overall?
The outside diameter is 5.3mm, including the braided sleeving, which keeps it slim enough for most lamp holders, cord grips and ceiling roses.
What do the three cores mean in practice?
There are three conductors of 0.75mm, covering live, neutral and earth, which makes it suitable for fittings with metal bodies or metal shades that require an earth connection.
Can I use it outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry indoor use only, so keep it away from garden lighting, shower areas and anywhere it could be wetted.
How do I keep the braid looking clean?
Isolate the fitting first, then wipe along the weave with a dry cloth. Avoid damp cloths, sprays and cleaning solvents, which can stain or fray the braid.
Is there a two core version in white?
Yes. We stock a white braided two core 0.75mm cable in the same range, along with black, blue, purple, lime green and red.
