Not sure where to put this so I just stuck it here.

I am after a source in the UK for figure of 8 mains leads with UK and EU type plugs. My old company used to import them, but they don't any longer. I checked CPC website, but no luck there either.
Maplin is out of the question. Too expensive.

Hi there

When I had an IT company I use to buy bulk cable from these guys. Open up a trade account and haggle a little and hopefully watch the prices tumble.

Looks like reasonable prices. But I am not happy about their quote "Confirms to BS 1362". As my old company used to make these things, I happen to know that the correct wording to look out for is "BSI 1362 approved".

Hi Sensi

Give them a call and pose the question. A couple of years ago I purchased thousands of cables and connectors from them and they always appeared to be well made, I understand what you're saying :)

Great score:). All I need to find now is the EU 2 pin version. I hope Farnell has them as well..
