*I keep offcuts of 10mm T+E to make red sleeving from. It is my understanding that cables that need sleeving even in the old red & black colours that the sleeving should use the unified colours. B***r. Of course by "red" I meant "live". Just as you say "green light" to mean "proceed light" regardless of the fact that the bottom traffic light isn't actually green. |
