    Hi,

    The question I have is with the armoured cable - does it need any special connectors -(it has the normal blue/brown/yellow wiring ), can I just connect to the outdoor socket with the neutral/live/earth terminals? Don't want to purchase sockets to find that I need something extra for armoured cable. Thanks in advance.

    SWA cable needs to be terminated using an SWA gland/term, there is a little bit of a knack to fitting them. So the answer to this part of the question is no you cant just connect it like a standard cable, the wire armour needs to be dressed back into the gland and everything needs to be earthed.

    Mod Edit.

    Kerryaviva, you are new to boards, I removed your post quickly as it reflected poorly on another user. I'll count your two posts as one. Please read the forum charter before posting again. Singling out a user like this again will result in a ban.


    I hope you remain on the forum, I'm putting this down to a new user being unfamiliar with the rules.
    Thank you.
