Braided Flex Cables

Italian Fabric Braided Flex Cable for Lighting

Braided flex cable is a popular choice for lighting where the cable is part of the finished look. Our Italian fabric braided cable range is designed for pendant lights, table lamps and decorative fittings, with options to suit both vintage restorations and modern installations.

2 Core & 3 Core Braided Flex (0.75mm CSA)

• 0.75mm CSA – Standard specification used for many domestic lighting applications.
• 2 core braided flex – Suitable for double-insulated fittings where an earth is not required.
• 3 core braided flex – Includes an earth wire for metal fittings that require grounding.

If you are unsure which type you need, check your fitting requirements before ordering. For many metal lamp holders and ceiling fittings, 3 core cable is typically required.

Round & Twisted Braided Cable Styles

Round braided flex offers a clean, contemporary finish, while twisted braided flex is commonly used for vintage-style pendants and exposed cable designs. Pair your braided lighting cable with compatible parts such as brass lamp holders and ceiling roses to build a complete lighting fitting.
