Cable: Cores

Our fabric cables come in 2 core 2x0.75 and 3 core 3x0.75. Please consult with your electrician in regards to what your project needs. When in doubt 3 core should cover all bases.

The number of cores relates to the number of wirings within a cable. 0.75 is the width of the internal copper wiring.

Electricians match the number of wirings to what each lampholders need.

This lampholder has two connection points. Thus would use 2 core cable.

This lampholder requires 3 core. The third core is used to earth this lampholder mainly due to the materials  it is made from: metal.

Three core cable can be used on 2 core components. Electricians have the abillity to not connect the earth cable.

Ultimatley you need to check with your electrician as to what they need to complete the project.
