    Stranded Core Coax

    We have had RG11 installed in some flats for use with Virgin/Internet. It should I think have been RG6 but the guy at Virgin was insistent it should be RG11. The RG11 has a stranded (not a solid) central conductor. I need to get an F-type connector on the end. What’s the best way to do...

    UK Ferules on stranded cable?

    Looking to make a couple of commando ended extension cables with 4mm stranded cable. Many say that ferules should be used for this size cable. Can I get the opinion of anyone reading this thread? Thanks in advance

    Hi, Have a question about wago connectors. Looking for suitable wagos for connecting 4mm twin and earth stranded (7 strands), I already have some 221-412 wagos but on reading the specification it stated that they are suitable for use with solid and fine-strand 0.4mm to 4mm. If it is that they...

    Stranded 2.5mm T&E cable

    Recently a couple of threads have discussed T&E cable and it became apparent to me that the 2.5mm, which I have only ever seen as solid core, is available with the live cores in 7-strand (rather like the old 7/.029" imperial size, though with solid CPC and not the 3-strand seen before). In fact...

    G9 socket for stranded cable (i.e. not push fit)

    Hi, Does anyone know where I can find G9 sockets that aren't push fit? I have stranded 2 core cable and don't want to solder the cable ends as it's not something I've done before and I can only find g9 sockets that cables push into (seemingly for solid core). Is there a particular term for...

    CCC of old stranded wires

I have a domestic installation, about 40 - 50 years old I wd say, and there are only 4 circuits, one is the sockets, with 2 wires into a 3036 30A fuse. I assumed it was a ring but it isnt, its not connected. The break is between...

    Plead for 2.5 sq mm stranded

    For the older sparks, do you feel as I do, that the move years ago to do away with the equivalent of 7/.029 cable for ring final circuits was a bad move. I feel that 2.5 sq mm single stranded, is far too rigid for the purpose. Would love to hear the consensus of opinion from you all. Les
