Tronic 10mm PVC Insulated Single Core Cable, 99.9% Pure Copper

Our review

This is a 10mm PVC-insulated single core cable from Tronic, made in Tanzania and built around 99.9% pure copper conductors. It comes in blue, brown and green, which makes it straightforward to match conductor colours to the roles they play in a typical installation. The 10mm size puts it in the range usually chosen for higher-current runs rather than lighting circuits, so it tends to suit someone wiring a main feed, a heavy appliance point or a distribution run where a thicker conductor is called for. Before buying, confirm the conductor size your circuit actually needs, since undersizing cable is a common and costly mistake, and check that the insulation type matches where it will be installed, whether that is conduit, trunking or a drier indoor route. It is also worth comparing against stranded flexible cable if the run needs to bend repeatedly, and against twin or multi-core cable if you would rather pull one cable than several separate singles. Colour availability matters too, so decide which of the three you need before ordering. The cable is available on Sokonia.
