Wallets at the ready boys......   Yup, this is a cracker of a cable and available up to 10mm² £1.80 per meter. 🤣 I wanted 1.5mm² copper mains cable for the preamp as it just had a butchered kettle lead on. This has certainly done the trick. |

Surprisingly 'proper' looking . . . . and not just for £1.80 . . .
and I thought my £10 for 5m of solid core mains wire was cheap, although it's not far off tbf . . . yours looks better though.

Thought is was going to be another of your sales threads  That looks to be great value and I see they do different core sizes as well. |

This is a great cable to experiment with gauge. Once you know what gauge sounds best on a particular device, then you can buy the good stuff in whatever metal you want. To be fair, I'm in no rush to take it out. It's bloody good. And yes, all of my mains is unshielded 👍 |

Maybe I'm not reading the datasheet carefully enough, but it looks like they're saying it's just H07RN-F which you can buy unbranded anywhere and I bought off the 'bay at the 4mm2 size for my long umbilical. What are they doing differently? It does look like they offer it in a choice of 10, 11, 12.. up to 19 strands each, which is interesting. What am I missing?

If it IS just a brand names slapped on bog standard cable, and you can find it cheaper, let us know! |

It looks like it's standard H07RN-F cable but the company Nexans has decided to get Titanex named and known as a brand. That being said, H07RN-F does seem to be the best open market choice for our uses. The price looks as good as it gets especially for multiple meters, since the average tends to be £2.99-3.99/meter delivered. Just search "H07RN-F 1.5mm" on Ebay.

Either way, it's a beast for the money and well worth £2pm of anyone's cash. |
