    Default FS: Figure 8 Mains Cable

    I have a brand new Figure 8 mains cable for sale. It's shielded cable, 90cm long and fitted with a Permaplug mains plug with a 5 amp fuse and silver plated Figure 8 connector.

    I'm looking for £22.00 including postage.

    Why a 5a fuse? Low amp mains fuses are to protect small cables, not equipment.

    Don't remark on sales items.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Can’t see why this question had such blunt response’s, seemed a ok question, and I’ve seen many questions and distractions on sales threads before, mainly they have been answered politely.

    As a rule of thumb, fuses are rated according to the power rating of the appliance.
