Each core contains 32 strands of 0.2mm copper wire, providing flexibility for installation through conduit, trunking or direct fixing along surfaces. The black PVC outer sheath measures 6.4mm in diameter and provides mechanical protection against abrasion and moisture ingress during typical indoor installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for light electrical and appliance wiring in residential, commercial and light industrial settings, the cable suits fixed installations where two-core wiring is needed without an earth conductor — typically for double-insulated appliances, LED driver connections, low-power lighting circuits and control wiring. The 10A rating handles loads up to 2,300W on 230V mains supply. The cable is supplied on a 100m reel, with two reels per pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth BS6500 and VDE standards approval means the cable meets UK and European safety requirements for insulation resistance, voltage withstand and conductor resistance. The flexible construction allows the cable to be bent around corners and through tight spaces without kinking, while the PVC sheath resists common household chemicals, oils and solvents. The black finish keeps the cable visually discreet when surface-mounted or visible in utility areas.\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\u003eBlack\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 Mercury 2 core cable is designed for light electrical and appliance wiring where an earth conductor is not required.
