Prysmian 6943X Grey 3-Core 2.5mm² Armoured Cable 25m Coil (38769)

When the appropriate sleeving is used and both ends of the cable is sleeved you can use the colour that is most appropriate, however we are not installers and would recommend you consult with a qualified electrician.

Hi, The cross sectional area is a nominal area. The conductor does not have to be meet the exact physical cross sectional area stated, the important consideration is that the conductor does not exceed the maximum resistance for the size, stated in BS EN 60228. We can confirm that the resistance of this conductor is in line with that requirement.

Thank you for contacting Prysmian Technical Support. This cable product has Brown, black and grey XLPE insulated cores and a black sheath. The sheath colour specified under "Specifications" is an error. We will seek to have this amended.

There isn't a straight answer to this, and neither answer previously really tell you what you would need to know. Cable diameter determines overall load. 2.5mm2 cable should allow up to around 5kw comfortably, so it would depend on what you're running in your 'man cave'. If you plan on having any form of electric heater, go for 4mm or 6mm as 2.5mm would not be sufficient. You also need to take into account longitudinal length of cable and what you're housing it in to allow heat disputation. I don't mean this rudely, but if you have to ask a question like that, get an electrician, have them install it and test it, too many injuries are caused by people thinking they're sparkies.

Please be advised that Prysmian has been unaware of a technical issue in accessing enquiries logged through Screwfix. We trust that your question has been resolved in the meantime and would like to assure you that future enquiries will be visible to us and responded to accordingly.
