Discuss Where do wholesalers buy their stuff in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

From the manufacturers.
 
Just make sure you don't buy your cable from suppliers who have their BS accreditation revoked ( you will find threads on this site about 'dodgey' cable suppliers who have their BS # revoked). I believe a certain Turkish co (probably amongst others) were still advertising their wares as BS compliant. So be warned.
 
Who tend to be in a land far far away,like these º×ɽÊÐÍò˳µçÆ÷ÖÆÔìÓÐÏÞ¹«Ë¾

They could also be from outer monglia. Or North korea, Bhutan, Congo ( Or DRC Congo), Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, romainia, russia or poland etc etc etc etc........ simple fact - if they dont have a BS no (and even if they do ) then you still need to do your research!!!!!!!!!
