Each core consists of 32 strands of 0.2mm diameter copper wire, giving the cable flexibility for routing around corners and through tight spaces while maintaining a 10A maximum current capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for light-duty electrical installations including table lamps, floor lamps, small appliances and low-power fixed wiring, the cable suits domestic and light commercial applications where a round profile is preferred over flat twin-and-earth. The 6.4mm overall diameter allows it to pass through cable glands, grommets and conduit sized for standard 1.0mm² round flex. The white PVC sheath provides mechanical protection and insulation to 300\/500V rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable carries both BSI and VDE approval, confirming compliance with British and European standards for flexible mains cables. The 2 x 32\/0.2mm stranding gives the cable better flex life than solid-core equivalents, making it suitable for applications where the cable is subject to repeated bending or movement. The 100m reel length allows multiple short runs to be cut from a single spool, reducing waste on installation jobs requiring several cable drops of varying length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach reel is packaged in pairs (2 reels per pack as supplied). The white finish suits installations where the cable run is surface-mounted or visible, providing a neutral appearance that blends with white fixtures, skirting and ceiling roses.\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\u003e1.0mm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 32\/0.2mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable : dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.4mmØ\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\u003e10.0A 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\u003eThe cable suits table lamps, floor lamps, pendant light drops, small appliances rated up to 10A, and light-duty fixed wiring where a flexible round cable is preferred over rigid twin-and-earth.
