  • Most of our domestic electrical appliances and light pendants will use round flexible cables, as it allows for flexible connections to the PowerPoint.
  • The round flexible cable is formed in a cross-section, normally with 2 or 3 cores insides a PVC outer sleeve coating.
  • All of our general internal power cables within your home will probably use twin-core and earth cabling. As the name suggests, this type of cabling is formed from two cores, insulated with PVC outer sleeve, and an earth core between the two.
  • An area such as a production/factory floor where heavy equipment being used is a prime example of a place where we might consider a shielded cable.
  • For outside use, Steel Wired Armoured (SWA) cable is used to move power underneath the ground by burying the cable, or overhead using a catenary wire.
