Unknown Cable.

Evnin' All,

A customer of mine has supplied some of his own cable. It appears to be 2.5mm2 copper twin and earth. It has a grey tough oversheath, (difficult to strip) marked DESCO P. It has a bare centrally placed C.P.C. The live conductors are insulated with Brown and Black coloured insulation. No B.S. markings.

Does anyone know its origin or anything else about it please?

If its not made by them really then it could be something very odd - black/brown as twisted pair is sometimes used as a firing cable

or for field telephones.as an alternative to D10 UTP .

Or thermocouple compensation cables -

which can be very colourful.

Again, be wary, and verify it is copper first.
