    Hi all

    Just want to check cable size I have, which says 2.5 +2.5+1.5 on the cable.

    just looks a bit thinner than previous bought but I’m presuming this is 2.5mm? Sockets etc

    Any replies greatly appreciated

    Line = 2.5mm2
    Neutral = 2.5mm2
    Earth = 1.5mm2

    ... only in the UK! :confused:

    the outer sheath can vary a bit between makes, I have two drums on the go at the moment, one is certainly thicker than the other - thats why I like clips with a bit of spring in them, thorsmann etc. as they take up the slack.
