Power and Control Curly Cords – PVC Mains Flex

PVC Mains Flex in Situ1aSHOP FITTING CURLY CORDS

Often called “Lighting Cords” or “Shop fitting style curly cords”
Our Australian 240v style PVC Mains Flex Power Curly Cords are Generally used for, or known as:

  • 240v Pendant outlets Curly Cords
  • 240v Pendant lighting Curly Cords
  • Drop lighting Cords
  • Display Cabinets Power Cords
  • Refrigeration Curly Cords

Often used in shopping centres, service stations, hair dressers, and other retail stores or outlets. Also used in various many other applications that would benefit from a flexible, cosmetically appealing power cord.

These cords are often used for their “Cosmetic Effect”  I.E. to finish off the installation, and make the wiring look neat and tidy.

Important Note: This type of cord is generally considered non self retracting.
In many applications you actually don’t need or want the cords to self retract.
You often want the cord to sit at the designated height.
i.e. You can stretch these cords out, and they will generally sit at the stretched length.
*If you need retractable cords please see our Polyurethane sheathed cords.

 

 

These cords must be terminated and installed by a licensed electrician.

 

 

Like many of our curly cords, we routinely do this type of curly cords in 300mm, 500mm, 1000mm, and 1800mm.

That is measuring them in the compressed state.

These PVC curly cords extend up to 3 times those lengths.

And come with an extra 150mm straight tails on each end.

We also routinely do them in
1mm²,
1.5mm² and
2.5mm²
(as well as 0.75mm² and even 4mm² as specials)

Black and White are standard.  Normally No M.O.Q.
Grey and Orange usually only available as specials. M.O.Q.’s may apply.

Other core counts may be possible. including:
2 Core (no Green/Yellow Earth)

In many of these applications these curly power cords are fitted off using a stainless steel wire through the centre of the cords which attaches to the light fixture or the pendant outlet. (particularly the longer length cords)

Note: It is important to not use uncoated wire as this may have an abrasive effect on the cords!

Plastic Coated Stainless Steel Wire
Part Number Description
PRO-PC7916 1.6mm Stainless Steel
Clear Plastic Coated to 2.0mm Wire per m
Swages.
PRO-Swage-1.6 Swage to suit 1.6mm Stainless Steel Wire.
Recommended 2 at each end. (4 per cord)
Strip Insulation off the wire rope before crimping.

Unless specifically indicated, all curly cords are supplied UNTERMINATED.

These extended or Drop Lengths, are not set in stone, and due to the nature of the cords, they are somewhat flexible. The longer you extend them out…the more stretched out the cord looks.  And with these cords they are used for cosmetic effect. Some people like to work on a 2 to 2.5 time extension as they feel this give a nicer cosmetic effect. This of course is a matter of personal opinion, and ultimately it is up to the installer and client to determine what is best for the particular situation. As a general rule we say up to 3:1 extension ratio.

 

P.O.A.: Priced on Application

Note: Not all core counts / core sizes / coil lengths available. Some M.O.Q.’s may apply.

    Hi —

    I am looking for a stretchy curly cord like a phone handset cord in hot pink. I do not need any wires in it, just basically a stretch curly cord in hot pink. Do you have anything like that or can you make it? I am looking for approximately 4 or 5 yards.

    Thanks, Karen

      Hi Karen,
      Hot Pink?
      Sorry…I don’t have anything like that…in any style of cable or cord.

      I’m not aware of it being available. But someone out there may have some.,
      But unfortunately not us.

      Sorry I was unable to assist you.

      All the best…

    Hi, I need a quote for 15 x 4 meter, white cords to supply a DGPO on display shelving. 1.5mm² should be fine (unless you know any AS3000 regs that state other wise,)  is it possible to get it terminated as in the photo on your web site of the office ceiling or can you supply soft wiring terminations?

      Hi Chris,

      Thanks for your inquiry.

      I assume that 4m is the extended or working length. (not compressed length). For these sorts of applications we supply them unterminated.

      I’ll email you the quote next.

      I’ll quickly look these up for you and email you the quote next.

      I’ve heard that comment about the wholesalers many times in the past…We actually deal with many wholsalers, but obviously not all of them.

      I’ll have to do a better job at telling the wholsalers we exist 🙂

    Hi Curly,

    I am repairing a 1980s flouro retracting pendant light fitting.  It has 2 curly cords of equal length, one cord is there for show, the other cord is connected to power.

    There is a retracting line that is threaded through the centre of each cord.

     

    Could I please get a price:

     

    2 x Black [is matte possible?]

    3 core / 1.5

    300mm extends to 900mm

    Outside diam 23mm  [each end needs to fit through a plastic tube]

    Tail 150mm [it would be preferable to have 300mm on the connected cord]

     

    I guess your ‘off the shelf’ cords are a better price point, is it possible to also get a quote on the closest of your standard cords as well?

     

    Cheers

    Colin

    It is for a massage chair. I am happy to send some pictures in case you need more details.

      Hi Roy,
      6:1 extension ratio is very high.
      Most normal cables would not extend that far.
      We might be able to do something in a Polyurethane cable, wound to a slightly bigger diameter coil than normal.
      Yes…Pictures may help. Thanks.

      Best regards
      Paul.
