Default Re: Help - Eubiq wiring

Toughened? are you sure about this guy? Flex is what it says, flexible. It has thicker insulation that is less brittle, the cores are stranded to create the flexibility needed and won't break as easily as solid cores on twin and earth (flat grey).
As for the power limitations, to the best of my recollections, flex is rated higher than twin and earth anyway therefore 2.5mm flex will carry more power than 2.5mm twin and earth.
I would fit a fused spur on the end of the t & e you already have and use 2.5mm flex from the flexoutlet of the spur. Or at a push if you need the cable to be in the wall use flex with a protective capping.
All the materials will be available from a local wholesaler.
