I'm looking at adding an electric lock to our driveway gates
The lock runs on 12v from a lock control module and I can pull an additional length of 1.5mm SWA through the underground conduit from the garage and terminate it into an IP65+ Wiska box using a 20S storm gland - that's all pretty straightforward
My question is really about the flexible cable to run from the Wiska box to to the lock itself - the Wiska box will be on a brick pier and the lock on the gate (it's a pair of swing gates so the lock will be at the gate join), so the cable will flex to 90 degrees every time the gate is opened - the bending can be mitigated with a loop of cable but there will still be repeated stresses
I'd love a recommendation for a suitable external flexible cable (the thinner the better) and gland that will work with the Wiska box - would Hi-Tuff or other NYY-J/NYY-O be suitable?
Thanks
