[QUOTE="Dom_wpc__, post: 473924, member: 30865"] Hello, I was wondering what cables are acceptable to be used outdoors, simply put, can I use a 13A 240V 3 core flex outdoors? I have heard it can be dangerous because it is possible for the PVC coating to crack in the UV rays from the sun, is this true? and if so can you make me aware of any other cable that can be used outdoors that is relatively cheap (I don't want to go over £2 per metre) for those wondering I'm powering an outdoor socket from another one inside the house, an RCD plug WILL be used and my consumer unit has that on all breakers anyway if you have any more tips/query's about the installation please feel free to comment down below this post [/QUOTE]
