The diameter of this cable is 5mm.
This cable is designed for indoor decorative lighting and is not rated for outdoor use or exposure to the elements.
This cable is intended for standard lighting circuits. It's crucial to check the power rating of your lighting fixture and ensure it is compatible with a 2-core cable.
Gently wipe the fabric with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using strong cleaning agents that could damage the material or color.
'2-core' refers to the number of insulated conductors within the cable (typically live and neutral). It does not include an earth wire.
While it's possible to join cables, it is generally recommended to use a single, continuous cable of the required length for safety and optimal performance. If joining, ensure all connections are made by a qualified electrician.
Check that the cable is securely connected at both the fixture and the plug. Ensure the plug is properly seated in the outlet and that the circuit breaker is not tripped.
Carefully trim any loose threads with sharp scissors. If the fraying is extensive or exposes the inner wiring, the cable should be replaced for safety.
Inspect the cable for any kinks, cuts, or damage. Ensure connections are tight. If the issue persists, the cable may be faulty and requires replacement.
Setup: Before installation, ensure the power supply is disconnected. Strip the outer fabric and inner insulation carefully to expose the two copper cores. Connect these cores to the appropriate terminals on your lighting fixture and plug. Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure about electrical wiring.
Compatibility: This 2-core cable is designed for basic lighting circuits that do not require an earth wire. It is compatible with most standard lamp holders and plugs. Always verify that the power requirements of your fixture do not exceed the cable's rating.
Care: To maintain the cable's appearance and integrity, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive moisture, or abrasive materials. Clean the fabric surface gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents, as they may damage the fabric and internal wiring.
