FAQ
-
What does the 1.5mm² cross-section rating mean, and is it right for my load?
1.5mm² is the copper conductor's cross-sectional area, giving this cable a safe current capacity of up to around 16A — enough for most portable heaters, fans, and general appliances. For heavier loads (power tools, industrial equipment) step up to 2.5mm². Confirm the appliance's rated current or check with an electrician if unsure.
-
Can I order an exact length, and how is the price calculated?
Yes — sold per metre at a fixed per-metre rate, so you order and pay for exactly the length you need. No roll minimum, 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 intended for fixed installation in conduit or trunking. This 2-core PVC Flexible Cable is fine-stranded for genuine flexibility, built for connecting portable or moveable equipment rather than permanent circuits.
-
Is a 2-core (no earth) cable safe for my appliance?
2-core cable has no protective earth conductor, so it's suitable only for double-insulated (Class II) appliances. If your equipment needs an earth connection, use the 3-core 1.5mm² version instead.
-
Does this need to be installed by an electrician?
Connections into fixed circuits, sockets, or permanent equipment should be made by a licensed electrician per UAE wiring regulations. This is a trade/contractor-supply product, not intended for DIY household wiring.
