[QUOTE="binky, post: 558439, member: 490"] it's not the age of the cable. it's the condition that matters, Cable used at full load 24/7/365 can be worn out in as little as 5 years, cable hardly used can last an awful lot longer. UK cable went metric circa 1970, that doesn't mean every house was wired in metric from 1970 onwards as no doubt people used up old imperial stock. So you really need to test the IR of the cables so ascertain just how 'satisfactory' they still are. [/QUOTE]
