SceneMaster Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi, What is a suitable cable for replacing a followspot cable in a cct sil followspot as in the short (2-3m) cable which goes from the lamp house to the fixture plug? (obviously heat resistive) I have searched, I presume it is the same sort you would replace a regular fixtures cable with? Any suggestions on type and more importantly where can I get hold of it quickly (this coming weekend). Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Which version of the CCT Sil spot is it? Is it discharge (CSI weren't they?) or a halogen based lamp? Ages since I've used a Sil spot but this might help others fully answer your question. Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_LX Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 it depends on how much power its consuming and the distance of cable you want. As for where to get it any electrical wholesaler once you know what you want will have most 3 core cable in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lighting4Free Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi,basically if you can get really thick and heat resistant cable that Will be perfect don't worry if it is not the colour black. BDC do very good cableAlex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SceneMaster Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 It is of the halogen 1000w type ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 1.5mm/sq silicon based HT cable should be fine then, all the good dealers will be able to help. Stu PS. As an aside, Scenemaster, it's worth remembering in future to post everything you know about the product in question as it helps get the correct answer quicker - simple things like what lamp it takes etc can make a difference to the answer.

Stu Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Stage Electrics definetly do it, I should know having only just bought 10m of it from them. Order code is CABH1.5, £1.50 a meter+VAT. Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order code is CABH1.5, £1.50 a meter+VAT. Stu Sorry my bad… I had dismissed the rubber cable section as just ordinary TRS not the HT silicon cable. Silly question I know but does silicon cable count as rubber cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I wouldn't have said so, no. Silicon nicks very easily, exposing the cores inside so needs to be looked after. It's certainly not tough like HO7 is! Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SceneMaster Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 My thoughts exactly hence why I couldn't find the cable at first on the stage lx website as it is listed under rubber cable section. Anyway thanks for all your help guys… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
