## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the outside diameter of this cable please**
A: Outside diameter is 7mm

**Q: Is this cable safe for a 240 volt 400 watt halogen outdoor floodlight/security light**
A: The cable is robust and capable of carrying at least 13 amps, which at 240 volts is over 3000 watts so 400 would be no problem.

**Q: Is this cable UV rated?**
A: As this cable can be buried in the ground and is very tough, or fitted on a wall or fence the I have never had a problem with uv rays affecting the cable.

**Q: Can I use this 1.5 for a double gang socket**
A: Yes,  for a double gang socket. Presumably you mean 13 Amp ones.
It's really for permanent installations, it's not flexible like like appliance chords.

I used it very successfully to install a double 13Amp socket  and lights in our summer house.

Hope this is useful!!   Go for it. Martin.
