Electra Cables | 10mm Twin & Earth Flat Cable PVC/PVC 100m | White Sheath
The Electra Cables 10mm Twin & Earth Flat Cable PVC/PVC is a 100-metre drum of residential-grade power distribution cable rated 10mm² for the active and neutral conductors and 4mm² for the earth conductor, supplied on a white sheath. The flat profile suits modern wall cavity installation and is compliant with Australian Standards for domestic wiring in new builds, extensions, and renovation work.
Flat twin-and-earth cable reduces labour time on site by fitting neatly through wall frames and under architrave without the bulk of circular cable. Electrical contractors and renovators specify this gauge for general domestic circuits operating at 240V, where the 10mm² core carries currents up to approximately 32A on a standard MCB or RCD circuit. The 100-metre drum length makes it economical for renovation jobs where multiple circuits are wired from a single cable run, lowering per-metre cost against smaller cuts.
The white sheath is a neutral choice for visible cable runs in kitchens, laundries, and other commercial work where appearance matters. The 7-135-2ERB drum is manufactured to comply with AS/NZS 5000.2 and is sourced from quality suppliers including Electra, Prysmian, Apec, Advance Cables, and Olex — brands change based on best buy price, so you receive the best value without sacrificing compliance or performance.
Features
- 10mm² active and neutral cores — rated for 32A on standard MCB/RCD protection, suitable for general purpose domestic and commercial power circuits under AS/NZS 3000.
- 4mm² earth conductor — sized to safely carry fault current and comply with Australian earthing requirements for residential installations.
- 100-metre drum length — economical bulk supply for multi-circuit jobs, reduces per-metre cost and minimises cable waste on renovation sites.
- Flat profile design — sits flush against wall frames and under architrave, easier to route than circular cable through pre-drilled studs and cavities.
- PVC/PVC construction — inner PVC insulation on each core plus outer PVC sheath provides mechanical protection and durability during installation and in service.
- White sheath — neutral appearance suitable for visible cable runs in kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial environments where finish aesthetic matters.
- AS/NZS 5000.2 compliant — manufactured to Australian/New Zealand standards for building wiring cable; approved for use in domestic and light commercial installations.
- Colour-coded cores — red and black active/neutral plus green/yellow earth stripe simplifies phase identification during termination and inspection.
- Interior use only — not rated for external, damp, or weatherproof locations; suitable for internal wall cavities, ceiling voids, and dry enclosed spaces only.
- Bulk purchase discount friendly — 100m drums suit trade buyers and renovators stocking multiple circuits; Sparky Direct pricing reflects bulk value without account setup.
Where to use
- Domestic general power circuits — the 7-135-2ERB is specified for 15A, 20A, and 32A circuits in residential homes, delivering power to power points, exhaust fans, and general-purpose loads up to the cable rating.
- Kitchen and laundry wiring — white flat cable blends into modern kitchen cabinetry and laundry spaces where surface routing or visible cable runs occur; the 10mm² core handles multiple simultaneous loads typical in these areas.
- Extension and renovation projects — 100m drums are ideal for electricians wiring a residential addition or major renovation where several circuits originate from the main switchboard and branch through new wall cavities.
- Commercial fit-out and tenant upgrades — the neutral white sheath and flat form suit office interiors, retail spaces, and light commercial environments where finish and neatness are valued.
- Retrofit upgrades — replacing older round cable with modern flat twin-and-earth in existing walls is easier due to the slimmer profile; upgrading circuits to higher-capacity protection often uses 10mm² as an intermediate step.
- New residential builds — builders and sparks specify flat cable during frame and wall-cavity stage to simplify installation and achieve faster completion than circular alternatives.
The 7-135-2ERB is not suitable for outdoor, weatherproof, or damp-exposed locations. It is an interior cable only and must not be installed in bathrooms at counter level, laundries subject to spray, or any external wall facing. For outdoor or wet-area applications, specify a weatherproof or marine-grade cable product.
