With shower say 10mm is dam hard to move, would 2x6mm or 6mm+2x2.5mm as being more manageable
Still the same cross sectional area

it DOSE say 10mm CSA .. what 2x6mm would be 12mm CSA ..
Thats a Darft Comment Flanders...
as for the 4x6mm to replace a 10mm .. i think you might of read things wrong there
Point was that some guy on another forum had 6mm cable put in with 40A MCB that went in to the loft ..
Now with cable calcs that can drop to about 37A also the shower I think was 10K
He had a few electricians, in about it some say 6 and some say 10mm
As the 6mm was it might of been cheaper to put in a 4mm to make it up to 10mm CSA
The other thing was that lot of people didn't seem to understand that a 10mm CSA cable would be that same as 4x2.5mm CSA
What shocked me as I did think that kind of Maths was basic
Omg so this guy who has a shower installed by and electrician with 6mm cable 40A MCB going via loft.. Is OK with you guys
Sorry I must be in the wrong forum my error minus another 60
Forums ain't for me, I can't read them and tones just don't work for me...

My thoughts as well.Jaysus.....DuaneMHunt. Are you really a sparkie..??
What about 10 x 1mm cables then? So that will be 20 in total? Using your simple infant school mathematics that would be fine.
Doesn't make it a good job though does it?
1mm has a ccc around 12/13A depending on conditions, let's say 10A for ease of maths.
So for a 40A supply you would only need 4off 1mm cables.
