Crossy Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Thai Yazaki is a well known local brand, you do tend to get what you pay for. I have some (very cheap) Triple-N 4mm VCT that's definitely under size! 200m is a lot of flex, what's your application? VCT isn't really the stuff for a house installation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sezze Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Might be a stupid question , but what are the codes on the cables , the VCT and all other cable codes ? I know it has to do with the insulation used but idk which cable type is used for what .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually meant to be for the house installation in walls such as sockets and swithches etc. I have sent a mail to some of the companies asking for what is recommended. Sent it 2 days ago. Im looking for european colour codes which has been a problem for me to find but i have. The electrician want to put 3 seperate cables which he says is cheaper, Ofc without the extra insulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainjackS Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 https://www.bangkokcable.com/en/products/copper-cables-1 Choose what you want from Bangkok Cable website and walk in to your local electrical supplier and show them the datasheet. BCC has detailed PDFs in English for all the cable types. Sounds like you might bw interested in VAF-G cable. It comes with brown , blue, green colors. If any part of your wiring is exposed where mice and rats can get in and bite the wires, you should consider individual conductors in conduit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Led Lolly Yellow Lolly Posted November 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Triple N is garbage. It's not just the undersized copper, it's the PVS sheath, I've has no end of problems with tome aircon compressors where the installer used Triple N as the insulation perished in a matter of months. Personally I won't touch anything other that BCC, Yazaki if BCC is out of stock. Edited November 21, 2021 by Led Lolly Yellow Lolly 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im waiting for an aswer though from Yazaki company VAF-G works and can be run unprotected in ceiling / roof spaces although most homes are wired in THW singles running in conduit for additional rodent protection.
