I suppose any good cable stockist. If you want, I can give you contact details for the one we use for tri-rated.

But what's the significance of it being DC? As far as I can recall we have not used any cable specifically rated for DC.

segen do it in black if you are willing to sleeve the ends

Sleeve the ends my current price from my wholesaler is 44p a meter on a 500m drum

We want to use brown grey as it looks nicer IMO especially on the tray work just can't seem to find it

Last place I had brown from was Tlc but never had any luck with grey. I've spoken to prysmian recently regarding colour variations in all sizes of dc solar cable up to 35mm but they won't do for less than 50,000m drums

if this is LV on tray, it needs sheathed cable anyway. would help if you said what it was to be used for.

it's in the solar forum, so chances are it'd be for running the DC down from the panels in singles using insulated and sheathed (more often referred to rightly or wrongly as double insulated) 6mm2 cable with UV resistance and high temperature ratings.... or he could just abbreviate that to dc cable and any solar installers would know what he meant.


to the OP, nope sorry, we just use black and mark up the ends.

Check the regs think the colours for DC are specified in there

yup, red and black

edit my mistake.

i didnt realise then in our panels should really be brown and blue.

the cable we use doesnt come in that colour so ah well
