{"product_id":"mercury-2-core-round-mains-cable-0-75mm-white-100m-reel","title":"Mercury 2 Core Round Mains Cable 0.75mm² White - 100m Reel","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mercury 2-core round mains cable is a flexible PVC-sheathed cable with 0.75mm² cross-sectional area, rated for up to 6A continuous current at 230V. Each core comprises 24 strands of 0.2mm diameter copper wire, giving the cable flexibility for routing around corners and through conduit while retaining enough rigidity to push through ceiling voids. The white PVC sheath measures 6.35mm in diameter and is rated to BSI BS6500 and VDE standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for fixed wiring of low-current lighting circuits, table lamps, floor lamps, low-wattage appliances and other light-duty electrical installations, the cable suits both domestic and commercial projects where concealed or surface-mounted runs are required. The 100m reel length supports larger installations without mid-run joints, reducing connection points and potential failure modes. The 6A rating handles loads up to 1,380W on a 230V supply, covering most decorative lighting circuits and small appliance branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe round profile sits flat against walls and runs cleanly through cable clips without the twisting that can occur with flat twin-and-earth cable. The white finish blends with white trunking, architrave and skirting, reducing visual impact in surface-mounted installations. BSI BS6500 approval confirms compliance with UK wiring regulations for PVC-insulated cables in dry, indoor locations. VDE approval extends compatibility to European installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is supplied on a reel wound for dispensing without kinking. Each reel ships as part of a 2-reel pack, providing 200m total cable across both reels. The flexible construction allows the cable to be pulled through narrow conduit runs and around tight bends without splitting the sheath or breaking conductor strands, reducing installation time compared to stiffer cable types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.75mm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 24\/0.2mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable : dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.35mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePacked\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 reels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6A max.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat applications is this cable suitable for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cable is rated for lighting circuits, table lamps, floor lamps and low-wattage appliances up to 1,380W at 230V.
