What type of cable is this?

What cable is that? Coming from the gland?

@dokkan1080 can you isolate this cable to confirm this one way or another? If so, once proven dead, poke the grey bit gently with a clean plastic tool. You'll either hit the disc or the tool will start to sink into the compound. Don't push it in more than a few mm.

I still remember installing a lot of Pyro with great fondness,used to be my favourite type of work.
During my apprenticeship with the local Health Authority it was widely used. I never installed anything other than orange sheathed and always with brass slotted roundhead screws, used to get all those slots vertical too. ?

Orange sheathed and bare I have worked with Dave.

Red, orange, white and bare.

I think the last time I was near the stuff was pulling in a 250m length through the catacombs under ninewells hospital in Dundee.

catacombs

Nice scary word

Nice scary word

Scary is walking along these corridors, which are identically shaped to the wards above…. And there are trolleys in storage down there, and old equipment….. spooky is a word that comes to mind…

and as the hospital is on a bit of a hill, one level of catacombs is the same level as wards in use…. Take a wrong turn and you walk into gynaecology!

I have some black stuff in the store, somewhere.

This is about 5 yards away now, in the garage, with a bit of Anaconda Sealtite, the best flexible conduit I've ever used.
Just wish there was a call for the jobs to use it.

It's good fun. The MICC I installed in my house has all been second had sheathed stuff. I stripped off the dirty/paint covered sheath, ran it through the roller straighteners and it's good as new.
