Tronic 16mm Single Core PVC Insulated Cable

Our review

This is a 16mm PVC insulated single core cable from Tronic, made with 99.9% pure copper and produced in Tanzania. It comes in blue, brown and green, so you can match conductor colours to the wiring convention you are following. The 16mm cross-section suits larger current-carrying runs rather than small lighting circuits, which makes it worth considering for main feeds, sub-mains or heavier equipment connections where a thicker conductor is needed. Before buying, confirm the cable size your installation actually calls for, since 16mm is not interchangeable with smaller sizes, and check that the insulation colour matches the role the conductor will play. Compare it with other single core cables by looking at the copper content and the insulation material, as those are the details that separate one cable from another. Available on Sokonia.
