Cavo Wave Stripe Braided Copper Cable 2 Core 0.75mm White - Black

A black braided flex with a white wave stripe chasing along its length, this is a two core 0.75mm cable in the standard European approved build, sold by the metre and supplied as one continuous run for the quantity you order. The braid gives it texture and a little sheen where light catches, and the stripe reads as a soft ripple rather than a hard band, so it looks deliberate rather than industrial. Two core suits fittings that need line and neutral only.

We reach for this when a pendant flex is going to be seen for its full drop, over an island, down a stairwell, or on a run of shaded pendants where the cable is part of the look. It suits anyone rewiring an older fitting whose original flex has gone tired, and anyone building a lamp from parts and wanting the cord to carry some pattern. The black ground keeps it quiet against dark ceilings and dark walls, while the pale stripe stops it disappearing entirely. It is intended for dry rooms indoors on a normal household supply, not for outdoor use or damp corners.

The braided sleeving sits over the insulated cores, which keeps the cable flexible in the hand and helps it hang in a clean line without kinking. Colour runs through the braid rather than sitting on top of it, so handling will not scuff it back to bare. To keep it looking fresh, run a dry cloth along the braid now and then with the power off at the wall, and avoid solvents, which will fray the weave. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the braided cable in plain black and plain white, and in blue, purple, red and lime green if you want the flex itself to bring the colour. There is also a black PVC version in the same two core gauge for places where the cable should stay unnoticed.

How thick is the finished cable?

It measures 6mm across the outer braid, which keeps it slim enough for most cord grips and lamp holder entries.

Is it sold in fixed one metre pieces?

No. Each unit is one metre, and whatever quantity you order arrives as a single continuous length, so ordering four gives you a four metre run.

What can I use it for?

Two core 0.75mm flex suits pendants, table and floor lamps and other double insulated fittings that need only line and neutral, with no earth conductor.

Will the braid fray if I cut it?

Cut ends can loosen, so wrap the point of the cut with tape before you cut and trim through the tape to hold the weave together.

Does the stripe run the whole way along?

Yes, the white wave repeats continuously down the black braid, so any length you order carries the pattern.

What warranty does it have?

It carries a one year warranty.
