Came across black PVC twin and earth the other day. I initially thought it was rubber and was about to replace it then I realised it was PVC. It was quite old imperial cable and ran from a switched spur in a bedroom into the loft and down in the bathroom to an infra red wall heater. The rest of the house was wired in grey T & E imperial with some extensions in metric cable and all seemed sound.
Anyone come across black PVC T & E? |

Are you sure it wasn't some of the early rubber/PVC mix cable?
PVC insulated cores with an oversheath of black rubber and rubber insulated cores with PVE oversheath were made by several manufacturers in the 50s and early 60s. ------------------------- Norman |

No,but it seems strange that it is not in common usage,when the BGB
recomends cables run outdoors should have a black sheath. hz |
