Source of cabling in old colours?

Feb 19, 2007 12 Replies

How much do you need? I've got 2.5mm, 6mm, and possibly others [1], which I'd be happy to sell for say e-bay prices minus 20%. I'm in Cambridge.

[1] I'll have to look in the garage.

I have 10mm - 1.0mm T&E in varying quantities - maybe not 1.5, as well as the "panel wiring" multi strand stuff, which is yours for the cost of replacement.

I'm in South Derbyshire.

I have a 100m drum of 2.5mm2 in the new colours I would cheerfully swap for a similar one in the old colours, if you (or anyone) is interested?

I was in a Homebase 3 weeks ago, and they still had the old cable colour stock on the shelf.

I still don't understand why people want old colours cable.

I'll gladly sell anything I've got in old colours for new colours prices + delivery costs + 25% minimum.

Is it not to avoid the Part P thingomagic?

What's a "Part P" ?

;-)

New colours could still have been installed pre part p.

Whatever the regs say I still think it better practice to alter/extend an existing installation with old colour cable.

But beware of cable with the date imprinted down the sheath, as I understand that the new colour stuff is.
