Another cable always used in Ireland is pvc/pvc twin brown for switch drops and strappers etc. rather than using a T&E and sleeving the blue. I’ve never really understood why it is not readily available in mainland GB.
 
do you have links for these other glands? i have seen the tophat style before but for 33kV i believe. the others ones when i searched didnt really show me much more than standard gland packs.

Top hat glands will be supplied with some switchgear for the biggest sizes of cables.

Various street lighting equipment is available, such as this cutout

ah, so the ones for lamppost cutouts are just smaller top hats?

Generally wouldn’t use a 6243 cable. It would normally be a 6242 along with a separate 6421.

I have heard that comment made quite a few times over the years
Not sure if there may be a regional aspect to its availability :confused:,though I doubt it very much

I personally have installed thousands of metres of twin brown over the years,I have never found a problem sourcing it locally
Its been the minority of occasions when I have used Brown/Blue with over sleeving and never because Brown/Brown was not available
