Often called “Shop fitting style curly cords”

Our PVC Mains Flex Cords are Generally used for: 240v Pendant Outlets
and  240v Pendant Lighting

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

We supply these cords in Black and White. Depending on available cable
stock.
White tends to be the most popular
Grey and Orange also available as specials. MOQ’s may apply.

White cords are often prefered in shopping centres, and hair dressers,
and Black cords are more often prefered for use in service
stations, workshops, general retailers etc.

Unless specifically
indicated, all curly cords are supplied UNTERMINATED.

1800 is our most popular length as it covers the greatest range of drop
lengths.

These cords extend some three times the compressed length. ie. 3:1 Ratio

That means a 1m cord will extend up to 3m.

But of course 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...ie to make the job look nice. So 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.

But as a general rule in our opinion we say 3:1 ratio is about right.

This type of cord is generally considered non self retracting. In fact
in these applications you actually don’t want the cords to self
retract. you want the cord to sit at the designated height.

You can stretch these cords out, and they will generally sit at the
stretched length.

In these applications they are usually fitted off using a stainless
steel or galvanized steel wire through the centre of the cords which
attaches to the light fixture or the pendant outlet. (The Wire and
Outlets are also available at Proconnect Pty Ltd)
