......As others have already said, get your own cable.
I certainly wouldn't buy it off ebay from someone with a user name of gerbil007 and whose trading address is a house on a new build housing estate!

I don't get your point here, Glenn. What I meant was that shaped conductors look smaller for the same CSA because there's less airspace. But unlike circular conductors you can't prove what the CSA actually is by measuring the strands with a mike.

We had some crap cable from a reputable wholesaler some years back.
A 35mm lug fit onto the (supposedly) 50mm cores.The outer sheath was brittle and split if you tried to bend it. We also had splits in the conductor insulation. The whole construction of the cable was shoddy and unsuitable, this was evident just by looking at it !
This stuff had BS numbers and BASEC approved stamped all over it.
Get your own cable and save yourself some nuggetache.
