What size cable is this?

[Kkiernan09369]

Can anyone tell by just looking what size cable this is ? It’s not written on the grey outer armour

 

[buzzlightyear]

hand core .

 

[H]

I’d say 6mm with a 2.5mm cpc at a total guess

 

[buzzlightyear]

looks 10mm what was it feeding before you got your mitts on it .

 

[westward10]

With H on this, 6.0 with the solid cpc which looks 2.5

Use a ruler... Work it out.

 

[telectrix]

prfobably imperial 7/.044 or maybe 7/.052

I've pinched this from a site.
Should give you a good idea of what size cable you have.

Then again yours is stranded...

Can't be with the solid core cpc.

Can't be with the solid core cpc.

This is how I came to my conclusion

 

[RonaldMC]

I agree, although I don't really approve of guesswork in electrical installation

Don't think it is, because it says BASEC down the side and they didn't exist until after metric cables came in.

The other possibility is 4mm^2 with a 1.5mm^2 cpc.

Do you have tiny little hands?
At first glance I thought it was a 16mm t&e

What?

Think I'd go for that.....although calling sheathing armour indicates a DIY. Hope it's not a check for re use...wouldn't advise that, really.
