Discuss Crumbly PVC cable (red only) in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Good to see you Clive long time no seeI have some in front of me, Red/white/blue which I replaced some time ago which was used for two way switching in the house I live in. Kept it just for interest, but it is definitely more plastic than pvc and much harder to strip.
Regards.
Yes. Looks & smells like it.I thought it might be PE hence my first comment.
@SJD, try burning a tiny bit outdoors. Does the smoke smell like candle wax?
My assumption has always been that the red is translucent and the black is opaque, so light doesn't get past the surface of the black.I wonder why the red and black behave differently, given that @brianmoooore has experience of the red failing first too. We don't know whether the correlation is causative or coincidental.
Always around Dave. I just don't post a lot.Good to see you Clive long time no see
