Each core is constructed from 48 strands of 0.2mm copper wire, giving the cable flexibility for runs that need to navigate around obstacles or through conduit. The cable carries BSI BS6500 and VDE approval and is rated for 15A maximum current at 230V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for fixed electrical equipment, portable appliances and lighting circuits where three-core wiring is required, the cable suits both domestic and commercial installations. The round 8.7mm diameter profile allows it to be fed through standard cable glands and grips, and the black PVC sheath resists abrasion and moisture in typical indoor environments. Common applications include connecting stage lighting, PA equipment, portable tools and appliances that require earth continuity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100m reel format suits electricians and installers working across multiple rooms or large spaces, reducing the need for mid-run joins. The flexible construction makes the cable easier to handle than solid-core alternatives when routing through tight bends or pulling through trunking. The black finish keeps the cable visually unobtrusive when surface-run along skirting or in visible locations.\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\u003e1.5mm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 x 48\/0.2mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable : dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.7mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePacked\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 reel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.0A 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 is the maximum current rating?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is rated for 15A maximum at 230V.
