It suits workshops, site cabins, temporary work areas, exhibitions, pop up installs, studios, plant rooms, control gear, and general site power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"290\" data-end=\"325\"\u003eProper cable, built for real use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"327\" data-end=\"602\"\u003eWe build these using H07RN F heavy duty rubber cable, selected for flexibility and toughness in demanding conditions. The cable meets the relevant harmonised standards and is UV resistant and flame retardant, making it a solid choice for professional use indoors or outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"636\"\u003eWhy we use 2.5mm², not 1.5mm²\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"902\"\u003eA lot of cheaper 16A leads are built in 1.5mm². We use 2.5mm² because it gives you more electrical headroom and helps keep voltage drop lower on longer runs. In plain terms, that means less stress on connected equipment, especially when the cable length increases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"1128\"\u003eFor temporary systems, BS 7909 also points you towards using heavy duty rubber cable (H07RN F or equivalent) for outdoor and general use, and highlights using cable where the specification and conductor size can be verified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1130\" data-end=\"1169\"\u003eConnectors: PCE 16A midnight (black)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1171\" data-end=\"1223\"\u003eWe fit genuine PCE 16A connectors throughout, using:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1246\"\u003ePCE 013 6X plug\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16A, 2P plus E, 230V class, 6h, midnight (black), IP44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1331\"\u003ePCE 213 6X connector\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16A, 2P plus E, 230V class, 6h, midnight (black), IP44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1432\"\u003eWhy choose midnight (black) connectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1793\"\u003eMidnight connectors are a great choice where you want cables to be less visually distracting, for example on stages, in studios, behind set, or anywhere you want the power to “disappear” rather than stand out. You still get the same professional IEC 60309 format and durability, just in a lower visibility finish that looks cleaner in production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1795\" data-end=\"1811\"\u003eAsset marking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"2049\"\u003eEvery cable is supplied with 12cm of clear heat shrink on both ends.
