FAQ
-
What does the 2.5mm² cross-section rating mean, and is it right for my load?
2.5mm² is the copper conductor's cross-sectional area, giving this cable a current capacity up to around 25A — suited to heavy power tools, site equipment, and high-load appliances. For lighter loads, 1.5mm² is usually sufficient; for larger three-phase machinery, larger cross-sections or more cores may be needed. Confirm with the equipment's rated current or ask an electrician.
-
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.
-
Is there any difference between the Black and White versions besides colour?
No — both are the same 2.5mm² 3-core PVC flexible cable to the same specification. Colour is chosen for identification purposes (e.g. matching site colour-coding or equipment casing).
-
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 3-core PVC Flexible Cable is fine-stranded for genuine flexibility and includes its own earth core, designed for connecting portable or moveable equipment rather than permanent circuits.
-
Does this need to be installed by an electrician?
Connections into fixed circuits, distribution boards, or permanent equipment should be made by a licensed electrician per UAE wiring regulations, particularly at this current rating. This is a trade/contractor-supply product, not intended for DIY household wiring.
