I have come across this several times where a big bunched bundle of 2.5 red / black singles are being used as tails...
at first I was cursing the badger who installed such an abomination.
but after My initial shock horror I kinda had to stand back and admire the handwork.

In that picture its quite clear its a split concentric feed rather than a big bunch of singles.

I have resorted to using a bunch of 2.5 singles as an emergency measure once in the past, it was all I could do at the time to get a pub through the evening before fixing it the next day.
 
Is it it a spli concentric cable...?

looke like a standard red tail & bunched 2.5 copper singles to me

A worthwhile cause I feel. Should be covered on the regs.
 
Periodic in local restaurant, guy payed 5k for this shop refit, left all the old 1200 x600 fittings above false ceiling still connected but tubes removed.

Never ceases to amaze me why people wrap an unenclosed block connector with insulation tape, like it makes a difference.
I was particularly impressed with the use of g/y tape for the twisted cpc’s. You don’t see that sort of attention to detail these days....real quality.
