    Fluke 2062 Cable tracer

    I've got a Fluke 2062 cable tracer. Cracking bit of kit, but very expensive, and isn't getting used very much. I might be open to renting it out. If you need to trace a break or short, this could save you a lot of time. I traced a N E short to a pin in a picture rail that had been there about a...

    New T&E cable...

    Seen a couple of videos with Doncaster cables now producuing a T&E with the CPC already sleeved so no need to fit our own. I also read somewhere that this will soon become the norm and will have to be installed to comply with the regs instead of the regular cable. Any truth in that?
