⚙️ Key Features & Benefits

• ⚡ 10 mm² Stranded Copper Conductors – High current capacity with reduced voltage drop, suited for heavier loads and longer wiring runs. Scribd+1

• ???? 3-Core Flexible Design – Live, neutral and earth conductors bundled in flexible format for easier routing in trunking, conduit or behind panels.

• ???? Premium Brand – East African Cables – Well-known regional cable manufacturer with quality assurance and local presence. East African Cables

• ???? Roll Length – 90 Metres – Large roll length reduces the number of joins, improves efficiency and reduces wastage on site.

• ???? Durable PVC Insulation & Sheath (450/750 V typical) – Suitable for indoor fixed wiring in protected installations, consistent with regional spec tables. Scribd+1

• ???? Region-Ready Solution – Ideal for Kenyan/East African wiring standards, especially where higher capacity wiring is required, with support via Macire’s local distribution.

???? Technical Specifications

Note: While exact current-rating and load-spec depend on installation conditions (ambient temp, grouping, routing), the listing indicates 10 mm² in flexible cable tables can carry up to ~57 A in air under standard conditions. Scribd

???? Application Areas & Use-Cases

The Macire 10 mm 3-Core Flex Cable is ideal for:

• ???? Socket circuits and power outlets receiving heavy-load appliances (kitchen machines, welders, pumps)

• ???? Long wiring runs in residential, commercial or industrial builds where voltage drop must be minimised

• ???? Flexible wiring runs behind panels, in trunking or conduit where a higher-capacity cable is required

• ???? Light commercial installations, workshops, service rooms or equipment spaces needing reliable heavy wiring

• ???? Industrial or rental-unit wiring where mobility, flexibility and capacity are combined

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

• ✔️ Avoid Sharp Bends / Kinks – Even though flexible, large cables still require proper bend radius for longevity.

• ✔️ Avoid Heat / Direct Sunlight Exposure – PVC sheathing can degrade if exposed to excessive heat or UV.

• ✔️ Store the Roll Properly Before Use – Keep in dry, cool environment to maintain insulation integrity.

• ✔️ Inspect Insulation Periodically – For exposed cable runs, check for cuts, abrasions or discolouration.

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

• ✔️ Use Within Rated Conditions – Ensure load, ambient temperature and installation method are aligned with cable’s capability.

???? DIY Installation Guide

1. ???? Measure the required length plus ~10-15 % extra for slack, service loops and future access.

2. ✂️ Cut the cable from the roll using appropriate insulated cutters; avoid damaging the outer sheath.

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

4. ????️ Strip core end lengths to match terminals; ensure no copper strands are nicked.

5. ???? Route cable through conduit/trunking or along fixed supports, securing at regular intervals (e.g., every ~300-400 mm) when exposed.

6. ???? Terminate the cable at sockets, switch-boards or appliances using correct colour coding and appropriate terminals.

7. ✅ Test continuity, insulation resistance and correct polarity before energising the circuit.

8. ???? After installation, ensure cable is not under tension, pinched or subject to abrasion; label circuits if required.

???? Do’s and Don’ts

Do’s

• ✅ Select correct cable size for the anticipated load; 10 mm² gives head-room for heavier circuits.

• ✅ Secure and support cable runs properly; avoid loose or hanging cable.

• ✅ Use proper terminals and follow local wiring regulations and colour codes.

• ✅ Label runs and keep installation tidy for future maintenance.

Don’ts

• ❌ Don’t assume unlimited load simply due to larger size; installation conditions may reduce rated current.

• ❌ Don’t use in outdoor or exposed UV environments unless the cable is specifically rated for that purpose.

• ❌ Don’t bend the cable too tightly, force it around sharp edges or leave unprotected where mechanical damage possible.

• ❌ Don’t ignore signs of damage – overheating marks, cracked insulation or discolouration should prompt replacement.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What current can a 10 mm² 3-core flex cable carry?
A1: While actual capacity depends on ambient temp, bundling and installation, manufacturer data for 10 mm² flexible cables shows up to ~57 A in free air for rated conditions. Scribd

Q2: Is this cable suitable for outdoor or underground installation?
A2: Not typically. This product is intended for indoor, protected environments. For outdoor or underground use choose a cable rated for UV exposure, direct burial or with appropriate armouring.

Q3: Why choose a 90 metre roll?
A3: A long roll (90 m) provides flexibility in wiring runs, reduces the number of joins (which are potential weak points), and may improve cost efficiency per metre.

Q4: Is this genuine East African Cables brand?
A4: Yes. East African Cables is a recognized manufacturer in Kenya and East Africa with ISO certification and a broad range of wiring products. Scribd+1

Q5: Does Macire stock other sizes or roll lengths of flex cable?
A5: Yes—Macire distributes a variety of flex cable sizes (0.5 mm² up to high sizes) and roll lengths (90 m, 100 m, etc) to match different wiring requirements.
