The cable consists of a twin-core conductor sheathed in woven textile, giving a 5mm outer diameter that provides flexibility without excess bulk when threading through ceiling roses, lamp holders or custom brackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed in both residential and hospitality settings where the cable run is deliberately visible, the Next allows pendant drops to become part of the interior scheme rather than hidden elements. The fabric sheath softens the mechanical appearance of standard PVC flex and pairs with traditional brass fittings, ceramic lamp holders and vintage-style bulbs. The cable can be cut to any required length on site, making it adaptable to ceiling heights from 2.4m standard domestic to 4m+ commercial or heritage spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woven textile layer adds durability against abrasion and flexing compared to bare PVC, which is useful when pendants are adjusted frequently or when cable runs through tight apertures in ceiling plates. The brass tone sits between polished gold and antique brass, working with warm wood interiors, exposed brick and both period and contemporary schemes that use metallic accents. Ideal Lux rates the cable for 5 years under normal domestic use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Years\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\u003eCan this cable be cut to a shorter length?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 5m length can be cut to any required drop on site. Once cut, the exposed cores are wired into the lamp holder or ceiling rose terminal in the usual way. The fabric sheath does not fray significantly when cut cleanly with wire cutters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat load rating does it carry?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specification table does not list an ampere rating. For twin-core 0.75mm² flex (typical for 5mm fabric cable), the standard UK rating is 6A, suitable for pendant lights up to approximately 1,380W. Confirm the exact conductor size and rating with the manufacturer if installing high-wattage fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the fabric sheath flammable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFabric-covered cable from Ideal Lux is manufactured to meet EU electrical safety standards, which include flame-retardant requirements for textile insulation. The cable should not be used in direct contact with high-temperature surfaces or run through areas where it could be exposed to open flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the brass colour fade over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brass finish is woven into or dyed onto the textile sheath, not a metallic coating. It does not tarnish like solid brass but may show slight colour shift if exposed to prolonged direct sunlight in south-facing windows. In typical indoor pendant installations the colour remains stable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ideal Lux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45733272420619,"sku":"301648","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/301648_WEB001_CAVO_TESSUTO_05M_OTTONE_0ed91c0e-b817-4ac3-8664-fa36e247ee10.jpg?v=1724718889","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/next-fabric-lighting-cable-5m-brass","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
