FAQ
-
What does the 1.0mm² cross-section rating mean, and how do I pick the right size?
1.0mm² refers to the copper conductor's cross-sectional area, which sets its current-carrying capacity — this size handles moderate portable loads better than 0.75mm² flex. For heavier appliances like heaters or power tools, 1.5mm² or 2.5mm² is usually the better choice. Check the appliance's rated current or ask an electrician if unsure.
-
Can I order an exact length, and how is the price calculated?
Yes — this cable is sold per metre at a fixed per-metre rate, so you only pay for the length you need. No roll minimum applies, and full coils are available for bulk project orders.
-
What's the difference between this and RR Kabel's single-core Building Wire?
Building Wire is a solid single conductor for fixed installation in conduit or trunking. This 2-core PVC Flexible Cable is fine-stranded for genuine flexibility, designed for connections to portable or moveable equipment rather than permanent building circuits.
-
Is a 2-core (no earth) cable suitable for my appliance?
2-core cable carries no protective earth, so it's intended for double-insulated (Class II) equipment only. Appliances requiring an earth connection need the 3-core version.
-
Does this need to be installed by an electrician?
Connections into fixed circuits, distribution points, or permanent fittings should be carried out by a licensed electrician per UAE wiring regulations. This is a trade/contractor-supply product, not intended for DIY household wiring.
