Application notes
2.5mm T&E is commonly specified for ring and radial socket circuits and general power wiring, with lighting and cooker runs sized according to the specific circuit's load and cable run — always confirm against the current wiring regulations and circuit design rather than assuming a single cable size fits every run.
This listing covers the cable only; it does not include glands, clips, consumer unit components or other containment accessories, so check what else the job needs before ordering.
For installers and integrators sourcing in bulk, confirm the metre quantity required for the job against your cable schedule before checkout, as this listing is priced and supplied on a per-metre basis under the stated SKU.
