FAQs

Is this cable safe for outdoor use?

No, this cable is designed for indoor decorative lighting and small appliance use only.

Can I use this for a chandelier weighing 7kg?

No, the cable is rated for a maximum load weight of 5kg. You should use a separate suspension chain for heavier fixtures.

Does this cable have an earth wire?

No, this is a 2-core cable. It is suitable only for devices that do not require an earth connection (Class II appliances).

Can I paint the fabric?

It is not recommended to paint the fabric, as it may compromise the fire-retardant properties of the material and affect the flexibility.

What is the voltage rating?

The cable is rated for 300V, which is standard for residential lighting and small household appliances.

Is the copper core stranded or solid?

The cores are stranded to ensure the flexibility required for the braided finish.

Troubleshooting

Outer fabric fraying during installation

Use a sharp pair of electrical shears and apply a small piece of clear heat-shrink or tape to the end of the cut before stripping to hold the braid in place.

Wire does not fit into the lamp holder

Ensure the cable grip of your lamp holder is rated for a 5mm diameter cable. If the opening is too small, check for any obstructions in the conduit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure you are using compatible 2-core compatible lamp holders. Because this is a 2-core wire, it is strictly intended for double-insulated appliances (Class II) that do not require an earth connection.

  1. Strip with Care: Carefully strip the outer braided fabric and inner PVC insulation to expose approximately 10-15mm of copper wire.
  2. Avoid Over-tightening: When connecting to terminals, tighten screws securely but do not over-torque to avoid damaging the fine copper strands.
  3. Cleaning: To maintain the gold finish, wipe the cable gently with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners or water, as moisture can degrade the fabric over time.
