Default source of silicone mains cable by the metre?

Hi Tim


1491467 2-core 0.75mm2
1491468 3-core 0.75mm2


Well, I missed those, so thanks very much. £2.75/m tho'?? oh well ...


Mind you, what I didn't realise was that they don't do smaller sizes by
the m. I used 1mm2 version of the above for some LV halogen drops, but I
guess for an iron you'd rather have something much lighter than 6mm dia.


Nah, 6mm is fine. This is a big heavy iron, not a small Antex or Weller etc.
The 6mm cable will be substantially thinner and (more importantly) more
flexible than the ancient heavy duty 13A cable it is replacing.

OK - red herring. ebay?


Very little, to my surprise, unless I've not got the right search term.

Thanks a lot for the FEC links

Cheers
