What Is a 3 Core Twisted Fabric Lighting Cable?

3 core twisted fabric cable is a decorative electrical cable designed to combine functionality with aesthetics. It consists of three insulated copper wires — Live (Brown), Neutral (Blue), and Earth (Green/Yellow) — twisted together and wrapped in a braided fabric sheath.

This combination of PVC-insulated copper cores and a woven fabric exterior ensures reliable electrical performance while giving your lighting a vintage, exposed-cable look. Perfect for pendant lights, wall lamps, and table lamps, it’s flexible and easy to work with — blending classic style with modern safety.

3 Core Round vs 3 Core Twisted Fabric Cable
