Further Information

Our in-house electrician Colin recommends using this cable for small lighting circuits in a garden. This cable would be perfect for supplying mains power to a set of garden spike lights surrounding a water feature, for example. For this job we recommend wiring the cable directly into the mains and then burying the cable underground. The cable will require outdoor CW20S glands for termination, as well as CC5 cable clips for attaching to any walls or surfaces.
