Identifying old wire reels.

[datamile]

Moving to Oz, so flogging old wiring reels on ebay , but all the labels are gone.

Anyone help identify these

1) AEI says something like sqmm 62. cable aei basec D. Looks like 1mm twin and earth.

2) AEI BASEC P twin & earth looks like 2.5

3) Says 4mm handwritten. twin (multi-core) & earth. BASEC BS6004: 1995 CQR

Thanks
Ian

If they are not brown & blue insulated cores do not bother wasting your time, sell them as scrap.

if they are red and black, you can sell them on Fleabay to time travellers who will transport them back to before part P.

some numpty will buy them if they are full reels so that they can bodge and swear it was done before part P ...

If red and black cable then you could sell them to someone who would be prepared to lie, and say that the work was carried out before the change in colours, i.e. on or before 31st March 2006.

BTW, this has nothing to do with Part P, which came into force on 1st January 2005.

Plenty of people buy them on ebay. for the time travel extension wiring, that was always there govna.

Just trying to list the right type

while part P did come after the color changes in time that may be forgotten and uncertified new colors wiring looked on more suspiciously than uncertified old colors wiring.

Eh?

The whole point of using old colour cable is to reduce the suspicion that the work was done after 31st Dec 2004.

Not a waste of time at all..

100m of 2.5 T&E old colours, are going for between £40 & £60 a roll.

Not a bad return for scrap..
