screw fix cable

[dan.]

whats the difference between the two cable makes sold in screw fix ? T+e

 

[Andy™]

different manufacturer

 

[Mark2spark]

The more expensive cable is manufactured by a part of a group that used to be known as Pirelli.

Arguably it's a better quality cable... even though both have BS numbers.

surely that cable doesnt comply with BASEC if its only rated 24/23A

either that, or they have shown a de-rated value, just to help those DIYers who cant work it out themselves

SL has it sewn up... I paid
