[QUOTE="brummydave, post: 502853, member: 18490"] Anyone know what kind of cable this is please? It looks a bit concentric but not like any i've seen. It's running straight out of the house meter to DB1 in the house. It's not terminated very well at all and I have no idea what its capacity / type is as never come across it before! It has a single stranded centre line conductor, six small solid neutral conductors (maybe 1.5mm?) and four small cpc conductors (maybe 2.5mm?). Inside DB1 they've joined each cpc conductor to a 6mm green/yellow. My job is actually on DB2 that is neatly supplied from DB1 (via the SWA seen in the pics) but obviously I need to sort the main supply out too! Any recomendations on how to terminate this tails cable neatly, or how to work out whether it needs replacing? Thanks all Dave. PS sorry for being quiet during this crazy year.
