Hi folks,
I asked a similar question a few years back, and I suspect that the answer hasn't changed much since then, but ...
...I need a small length of ≥6-core (well, ≥5-core + earth) mains-rated cable, presumably flex (for use in a 6A lighting circuit), but life starts getting more difficult beyond 5-core (or 4C+E). There's plenty of 6- and 8-core (and beyond) out there called alarm/signal cable and, whilst a fair bit of that is only 'rated' for ELV, some claims to be LV-rated (commonly "500V") - but that usually has only 0.2 mm² conductors.
As was the case those years ago, one exception is a 7-core 0.75 mm² flex offered by TLC with 6 black-insulated (numbered) cores and one G/Y one -and seemingly an OD of only 7.7 mm. That would certainly do the job, although I suppose I'd be even happier if the cores were not all black. Is anyone aware of anything else which is currently available (in short lengths) ? The TLC one ...
