SWA with copper grinning/shining thro cores along length
Image is of SWA cable, BASEC approved.
http://tinypic.com/r/2j1lamr/3 Brown, Blue & Grey insulated cores show the copper "grinning through" to the extent of being shiny at regular intervals along the cable. Black & Gr/Ye insulated cores show marks, but no copper "grinning through". Depending on where you exposed the bedding you would not know, however the idea is the cores are *continuously insulated* - oddly enough. Yes it will probably pass a 1kV IR test. Yes most face the inside of the bedding, rather than facing the armour - but not all do. Sigh. |

I think I would be looking to the supplier to replace that! -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Unfortunately the supplier (and others) are now only carrying that Turkish brand in smaller sizes re cost. So busy emailing around to see what people have before I start driving around. |

It looks like product-recall territory to me. |
