Tronic 2.5 mm Single Core Cable, PVC Insulated Copper

Our review

This is a single core, PVC insulated electrical cable with a 2.5 mm conductor, made by Tronic and produced in Tanzania. The copper inside is stated as 99.9% pure, and the insulation comes in blue, brown and green, which are the colours typically used to distinguish live, neutral and earth runs in fixed wiring. It suits anyone wiring or extending circuits where a single conductor is needed rather than a twin or multi-core cable, such as lighting and socket circuits, and it is also handy for repairs where you only need to replace one leg of a run. Before buying, confirm that 2.5 mm is the cross-sectional area your circuit requires, since smaller sizes like 1.5 mm are common for lighting while heavier loads call for larger conductors, and check how many metres you actually need because cable is usually cut to length. Compare it with other single core cables on conductor material, insulation colour options and country of origin, and note that no current rating, voltage grade or warranty is stated here, so check those details on the listing itself. Available on Sokonia.
