Note: The oversheath diameters are only approximate, if tolerance dimensions are required please specify at time of enquiry or order placement. * If the Cable Spacing is Larger than 1 cable diameter then the volt drop will be larger than those specified. If current rating and buildings is required reference should be made to BS7671 (IEE Wiring Regs).
