Would 0.75mm 3 Core be ok?

[noneforit]

Hi

I have mounted a TV on the wall and am going to stick a double extension behind it, one plug for the TV and another for a small media player (Raspberry Pi 2).

I want to use 0.75mm 3 core as it looks better aesthetically, i.e its thinner.

The TV is an older 32" LCD so I suspect maybe 2-3 amps.
The media player is 1-2 amps looking online.

Presumably this would be ok?

I would run it off an existing socket, neatly cable clipped along and up the wall, the outside of the wall, not inside it.

Thanks

0.75 is 6A current carrying capacity so your total on a 5A fuse should be fine.

Do you mean you're going to plug it into that socket?

Outside it needs to be run in conduit or else use SWA.

I think (?) the op means the 'surface' of the wall as apposed to burying it below the surface ... not the 'outside' as such.

But hopefully (s)he'll be back to confirm this.
