Well, as Paul mentioned in another thread, it appears that the British system is quite a mess.
Paul,
Yes, Ancor brand is the cable I always use when doing marine wiring. The new red/yellow is called "Safety Wire." I have never used the red/yellow, and I probably never will. They sell it right along side the red/black at the boat stores, and the spools are usually gathering dust on the floor.
I concede the red/yellow is a good idea for larger vessels with 2 voltage systems, but anyone with any experience would know the difference. As I mentioned though, it hasn't really caught on. DIYers shouldnt be allowed to wire boats either, even though it's DC. It can still cause a fire.
<gets off soapbox>
BTW, how did you end up with an Ancor catalog? Do you do any boating yourself?
