Fabric cable is where every light you build yourself begins. With us it's sold by the metre: you order the length, we cut one continuous piece. Over a hundred colours and patterns – round, flat, twisted, zigzag, braided – in cotton, linen, jute and silk effect. Two cross-sections cover everything that hangs: 2x0.75 for double-insulated lamp holders, 3x0.75 with earth conductor for metal. All cables IMQ and HAR tested, shipped across the EU.
Fabric cable is a normal power cable with a fabric covering. Inside are two or three 0.75 mm² wires; outside is cotton, linen, jute or viscose with a silk effect. It can carry a light of up to about 2 kg directly on the cable; anything heavier also hangs from a strain relief.
The most important decision is the cross-section. 2x0.75 is enough for all lights with a plastic or porcelain lamp holder and ceiling rose. As soon as there's a metal part in the circuit, you need 3x0.75 with an earth wire. The configurator picks this automatically; here in the category, both versions are shown side by side.
We supply cable sold by the metre in one piece: order 3.5 metres and you get 3.5 metres of continuous cable. Measure the distance from the ceiling outlet to the lamp holder and add 30 cm for the connection.
