Those of ye that built your "Electric Brewery" where did you source your cable? I don't fancy buying reels of different colours just looking for anywhere that does it by the metre

Unless you know electricians, you'll have to buy the reels. I haven't been able to find a reputable source for buying single core by the  metre. I'll be in the same situation when it comes to building my panel.

I found some in the UK by the metre, so if all fails that's where I'll be heading.

Did you try ie.farnell.com
I did, they seems to only do reels, It's a PIA as I want to keep all colour coded for ease..

an electrical wholesale place might be your best spot. They would have a trade counter.

I thought I bought some from them previously by the meter at reasonable price. If I get a chance later I'll see if I can dig out a link.

Mainscourt Electrical in Swords sell single core "pannel wire" by the meter in different cross sections.

They also sell all t'other wires like 2&E, SWA, MICC etc etc by the meter. Just say "Will from the Rugby club" recommended you!
