A flex is indeed a shortening of flexible cable or flexible wire, and
normally implies a stranded construction. However a 6mm^2 T&E cable is
also stranded.


It's stranded but not flexible, the strands are too thick for that. Hence it's cable not flex.


Yeahbut, its stranded to make it more flexible :-)


I have some extra-flexible wire, because it's more flexible than normal flexable wire :-)
