He has only one left now!! Reminds me last summer when I pulled into a mooring pod in Bristol arbour and found nearly a tenner left ont leccy hook up. It lasted us a week, must have been some posh knob on a Gin palace as I dont know any narrowboaters who would spend that much money all at once lol.

I can’t see anywhere in the eBay listing that it is 2.5mm square cable.

 

It says it on the cable I received - wait a bit and I'll see if I can get a picture.

 

Edit - everything is piled up in the back of the car to go back down to the boat on Monday, but, here you are :

 

the cable that arrived at 9:00 pm last night

Just ordered the last one. At 25 metres long it will mean that I can plug into the stern shoreline input everytime, rather than having to keep switching between the bow and stern shoreline inputs depending upon who h way my boat is facing.

 

Thanks for posting A de E ?

He may have more - just bought one  ( at 17:10) with listing stating 'more than 10 available'. Mark you there have been inaacuracies with ebay listings ,IME, recently.

 

Time will tell.

I should be on commission - he has sold more today (11) than he has in the last 3 months.

A two pound reduction has made all the difference...

Send him a PM - he migh give you a discount on something else.....

I wouldn't use this cable HO5RRF its designed for fixed installations.  HO7RNF is designed for both fixed and portable installations At work we only used HO7RNF this cable is HO5RRF not nearly as robust as HO7RNF or PVC.

I’d still say it’s superior to the Arctic cable that I see used so often.

The H05RR-F cable, also known as 318-TRS tough rubber sheathed flexible cable (harmonised code H05RR-F) is designed for use in fixed installations in domestic premises as well as kitchens and office environments. This robust cable is ideally suited for use as 13 Amp mains extension leads to provide power to portable appliances. With its durable rubber compound insulation and sheath, it can be repeatedly coiled and uncoiled without undue wear, and offers resistance to water and oils.

A combination of robustness and flexibility makes rubber cables ideal to provide power supply to portable electrical equipment and devices. The mechanical stresses involved in moving apparatus require cables to withstand a high degree of wear-and-tear. Our HOFR (heat & oil resistant and flame-retardant) the cables are designed to withstand extreme weather, oil/grease, mechanical as well as thermal stresses, also using compounds such as Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) and Chlorosulphonated Polyethylene (CSP) as insulating materials. These flexible rubber cables are suitable for a wide range of applications including mobile power supplies, light and heavy duty equipment, and submersible pumps, as welding cables providing power from the machine to the tool, for audio visual equipment, and equipment on construction sites.  

 

 

As an ex-cable designer for one of the UK's major cable manufacturers I would have no concerns using this cable as a shore line.

 

Whilst the manufacturer may state "fixed applications" its additional flexibility and sheath toughness makes it the ideal cable for a shore-line.

I thought it was a good deal until I saw your picture.

I wonder does the cable have ferrules on it in the connector?

I didn't mention Artic cable not all PVC cable us Artic which despite its name is not good at low temperatures ; )

 

Having used hundreds  of miles of cable in my working life we only ever had one batch of HO5 supplied in error should have been HO7 and we had to use it due to time constraints, it didn't last long before the jacket split.

 

You get what you pay for!

Wonder no longer - NO.

The end of conductors are tinned for about 10mm to form a solid.

 

Not perfect but as there will be no movement I cannot see it being a problem.

It'll be better than the 1000's out there that are just stripped-back conductors with loose strands.
