I'd bet that's the old 'water heater' supply. Your immersion heater feed for the hot water tank you may not have anymore. Perfect if you need a 16a feed to something in your airing cupboard, I'd even repurpose that for a dedicated gaming PC supply, or run your lights and model trains in your loft off of it.

It is not a shower cable

Nice one, was thinking I could place some plug sockets in the attic and maybe have some plug and play cctv plugs as it will be easier to wire them in all 4 corners of the house from outside also realised that yes its not a 10mm cable, even though it just so happens to measure 10mm across lol. I think alot of ppl think I'm going to dive into the C/U and just have s DIY go at this. I'm not lol. I just need to know wat is wat in my house so I know what to spot and understand what I have, or need, or need to get repaired by a sparky. Also I've just found a 6mm cable that was from the old shower in the attic so happy days. Let's hope it don't need changing for a 10mm

10mm² is the area of the live conductor looked at end on, the cross sectional area when you strip off the secondary and primary insulation. Imagine a square, it would be 3.2mm x 3.2mm of copper. The individual brown and blue conductors are almost the size of pencils.

That 6mm cable is only useful if it's 1 - electrically sound, 2 - actually appears in your CU, 3- You can add it as a new circuit to the existing CU with matching breakers 4 - Get your new circuit tested and signed off by building control or a CPS member 5 - Have a crappy shower less than 7.2kw

Lol I was just thinking would it be worth having a crappy lower power shower lol but no.

Thank you for all your information. It's really helpful. I know know exactly what I need and what I need to ask for from an electrician.
