Note: Actual rolling length or specification may vary slightly depending on stock and packaging.

???? Application Areas & Use-Cases

The Macire 2.5 mm 3 Core Flex Cable is ideal for:

• ???? Socket wiring and general power outlets in homes, offices, rental units.

• ???? Small to medium appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, air-conditioning units (depending on load).

• ???? Flexible wiring runs behind switchboards, conduit installations or structured wiring in commercial fit-outs.

• ???? Light commercial installations, workshops or service rooms where moderate loading is expected.

• ???? Longer runs where voltage drop matters and larger cable size is needed for safety and performance.

???? Maintenance Tips & How to Extend Service Life

To ensure your Macire 2.5 mm 3-Core Flex Cable performs well and lasts:

• ✔️ Avoid Sharp Bends / Kinks – Use smooth bends to avoid conductor stress or insulation damage.

• ✔️ Avoid Proximity to Heat or Sunlight – PVC sheathing can degrade if exposed to high temperature or UV for extended periods.

• ✔️ Store the Roll Properly Before Use – Keep in a dry, cool, clean area to avoid moisture ingress or sheath damage.

• ✔️ Inspect Insulation Periodically – Especially in exposed installations: check for abrasions, cuts, colour change.

• ✔️ Secure Cable Runs – Use appropriate clips, trunking or conduit so the cable is protected and held firmly.

• ✔️ Use Within Load & Environment Ratings – Ensure the circuit loading is appropriate for 2.5 mm² size and conditions (bundled cables may need derating).

???? DIY Installation Guide

1. ???? Measure the required length for your runs, adding ~10-15% for slack, service loops and slack at termination points.

2. ✂️ Cut the roll at the required length using a proper insulated cable cutter; avoid damaging outer sheath.

3. ???? Strip the outer PVC sheath carefully to expose the three insulated cores (Live, Neutral, Earth).

4. ????️ Strip each core end carefully (Brown = Live, Blue = Neutral, Yellow/Green = Earth) ensuring you don’t nick the copper strands.

5. ???? Route the cable via trunking or conduit where required, and secure using clips or clamps (e.g., every ~300-400 mm) especially where exposed.

6. ???? Terminate at sockets, switchboards or appliances following correct colour-coding and wiring regulations (Kenyan wiring code if applicable).

7. ✅ Perform continuity tests, insulation resistance tests and verify correct polarity before powering the circuit.

8. ???? After installation, ensure no part of the cable is under tension, pinched, or subject to mechanical wear/abrasion.

???? Do’s and Don’ts

Do’s

• ✅ Use correct sized cable for the load; 2.5 mm² gives more headroom than smaller sizes.

• ✅ Secure and support the cable – avoid letting it hang or be subject to movement/vibration.

• ✅ Use appropriate connectors and terminations to ensure reliable, safe installation.

• ✅ Follow local wiring installations, colour-coding and protection requirements (MCB/RCD as needed).

Don’ts

• ❌ Don’t overload the circuit beyond what 2.5 mm² conductor and installation conditions allow.

• ❌ Don’t install the cable outdoors or exposed to sunlight unless specified for such use.

• ❌ Don’t force the cable around sharp edges, tight bends or pinch points; use conduit or edge protection.

• ❌ Don’t ignore signs of damage – if insulation appears cracked, abraded, discoloured or overheated, replace immediately.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What load current can a 2.5 mm² 3-core flex cable carry?
A1: While exact safe current depends on installation conditions, ambient temperature, conductor type and derating factors, 2.5 mm² flexible cable is generally used for moderate load circuits such as outlet circuits. Listings show the size for sockets and heavier applications. Macire+1

Q2: Is this cable suitable for outdoor or exposed installation?
A2: Generally this type is designed for indoor, protected installations. If you need outdoor, UV exposed or direct burial wiring, you should choose cable rated for those conditions (e.g., UV-resistant sheathing, armoured, or outdoor rated).

Q3: Why choose a 90 metre roll length?
A3: A long roll (90 m) gives the installer flexibility to carry out multiple runs from one roll, reduces the number of joins (which can be potential failure points) and improves job efficiency.

Q4: Is this genuinely the East African Cables brand?
A4: Yes — East African Cables has been manufacturing cables in Kenya and the region since 1966, holds ISO 9001 certification and is a recognised brand in the region. Scribd+1

Q5: Does Macire supply other larger roll lengths or cable sizes?
A5: Yes — Macire’s inventory includes various sizes of flex cables (0.5 mm², 0.75 mm², 1 mm², 1.5 mm², 2.5 mm², etc.) and different roll lengths (90 m, 100 m) depending on project requirements. Macire+1
