15A Round pin extension leads?

[andycat]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know where I can buy 15A round pin extension leads, or the stuff to make them? I can get hold of plugs quite easily, but haven't found anywhere that sells the sockets!

 

Is it special cable, or mains cable?

1.5 or 2.5mm trs cable and these plugs from cpc who you probably have an account with as you're at a school

 

They do sockets too, and the cable if you're pushed. You can get away with pvc which is much cheaper, but doesn't like being up against hot equipment. They are available from all the normal suppliers, and in ready made too, but watch how they get a bit expensive.

Any lighting supply house will sell these (made up or components) is.... AC Lighting, Stage Electrics, TMB, White Light.... are the first four that come to mind. There are many more, including VDC Trading.

TRS (tough rubber sheath) mains cable is generally used for fairly obvious reasons. If you ask for 3 core 1.5mm2 HO7 cable, it will do the job nicely.

For instance

There may be cheaper. These were just the first two on google.

 

Mains cable

usedlighting.co.uk sell 15A sockets, and I'd recommend using them, if not now then sometime in the future.
