Could be the manufacturer doing things slightly differently Matt, stranded cable is generally more pliable when its multicore.

Stranded 2.5 T&E (equivalent) appears to be easily obtainable if not the norm in Australia and New Zealand. The two nearest standard British sizes before metrication were stranded as well: 3/.036 and 7/.029.

Page 17 of which catalogue?

Is this the elusive 2010 catalogue that's been "coming soon" for months? or a recent special offers flyer?

I haven't got my 2010 catalogue yet.

Do you have the catalogue number to look it up on line?

Most T&E in NZ is stranded and cpc same size as live conductors. Sounds cheap tho....

At that price it'd be worth buying just to strip down to brite copper & take to the scrappy.

at that price, you'd most likely make a profit taking it unstripped

Right, I've found it. It's a typo and a wrong photograph.

It's on page 17 of the "Highlights" brochure valid until 12th March.

The description says "100M, 2.5mm twin & earth cable-6242YH" and shows a photo of stranded T&E

The product code is quoted as CB1143406

Looking that up on their website shows it's in fact a 25M drum of 1mm T&E http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-power/62421mm25m/cable-twin-earth-1-00mm-25m/dp/CB1143406?Ntt=cb1143406

And that's the special offer price, the normal price is

[PBC_1966]

And despite the widely believed myth, a store is not legally obliged to sell an item at the advertised price even if it's a mistake. In fact they're not obliged to sell it to you at all.

 

[ianmacd]

Indeed. They can withdraw any item from sale at any time for any reason and do not even need to inform you they have done so.

 

[Apache]

But once they have accepted your money the item is sold to you even if they realise the error before you leave the shop.
