Two-core flex cable refers to an electrical cable consisting of two conductors (cores) typically insulated and sheathed together. It is designed to be flexible, making it suitable for applications where the cable needs to bend or move easily.

Two-core flex cable is used in a variety of applications, including:

• Portable Appliances: Such as lamps, fans, small appliances, and extension cords.
• Lighting: For connecting light fittings and switches where flexibility is required.
• DIY Projects: Commonly used by DIY enthusiasts and hobbyists for electrical projects.

The conductors (cores) of 2-core flex cable are typically made of copper, which is preferred for its excellent electrical conductivity and flexibility.

Two-core flex cables are available in various sizes (cross-sectional area) and ratings, typically ranging from 0.5mm² to 2.5mm² for domestic and light industrial applications. The rating depends on the current-carrying capacity required for the specific application.

Key features of 2-core flex cable include:

• Flexibility: Allows the cable to bend and move easily without damage.
• Insulation: Provides electrical insulation between the conductors and protects against electrical faults.
• Sheathing: Offers additional protection and durability for the cable.
• Stranding: Conductors are often stranded to enhance flexibility and durability.
