Flat two-conductor construction
Two copper conductors run side by side in a flat profile. Confirm the individual insulation and any outer sheath rather than choosing by appearance alone.

Twin Flat Cables
Twin flat electrical cable has two copper conductors arranged in a flat profile for suitable internal wiring and lighting applications.
Duara Group sources twin flat cables for residential electrical systems, building wiring and procurement schedules where a two-conductor cable is specified. Each conductor needs electrical insulation; the insulation materials, sheath arrangement and solid or stranded construction must be confirmed for the actual product. Twin flat cable without an earth conductor is distinct from twin with earth cable. The absence of an integral earth must be accounted for in the installation design, especially when connecting equipment that requires protective earthing.
Types and configurations
These are general cable construction options for specification discussions. The configuration, materials and performance of the proposed supply must be confirmed in the quotation; this list does not establish available sizes or stock.
Fixed wiring versus flexible twin flat
Industry terminology also includes flexible flat cords for particular uses. A shared flat shape does not make fixed wiring cable and an appliance flex interchangeable; the quoted designation must match the intended application.
Difference from twin with earth
Twin flat without earth does not contain a protective conductor. Where the circuit requires one, its provision must be resolved by the designer or a suitable cable with earth selected.
Product specifications
The documented nominal sizes and roll length are listed below. Construction materials and performance beyond the stated product description require supplier confirmation.
| Parameter | What to define |
|---|---|
| Documented nominal sizes | 1.0 mm², 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm². Nominal area is not overall cable width or thickness. |
| Documented packaging | 90-metre rolls. |
| Conductor and insulation to confirm | Request confirmation of copper conductor construction, identification, insulation material and sheath arrangement for the proposed cable. |
| Application and performance to confirm | Cable designation, suitability for the intended wiring method, voltage rating and current-capacity information must be established from the supplier datasheet. |
Packaging and supply formats
- Documented packaging: 90-metre rolls.
- State roll quantities by size; insulation and sheath construction are confirmed with the proposed supplier.
Origin and sourcing options
Duara Group coordinates cable sourcing, procurement and distribution for Kenya, East Africa and international buyers. We do not manufacture cables. Producer, origin, quantities and delivery arrangements are confirmed for each enquiry.
Documentation and certification
- Request the proposed supplier datasheet and cable identification before approval.
- Specify any inspection, test reports or product certification evidence required for the exact cable; these are confirmed per enquiry.
- Include destination-specific documentation and the project specification in the purchase request.
Standards and qualification
No product certification, voltage rating, current rating, fire rating or temperature limit is claimed here. A qualified project designer must assess the proposed cable and applicable installation requirements.
Buyer requirements for quotation
- Intended application and equipment or circuit details
- Cable schedule, route lengths and quantity per configuration
- Installation environment and any special performance requirements
- Packaging, destination and requested delivery schedule
- Required datasheets, acceptance tests and quotation terms
Cable selection and installation considerations
Resolving the earthing requirement
A two-conductor cable must not be installed as a substitute for a cable containing protective earth where that conductor is required. Include the equipment earthing class and approved circuit design in the enquiry.
Selecting size and protection
Lighting use does not automatically justify one conductor area. Check circuit duty, route length, protective devices, ambient conditions and grouping. Agree the installation method and support so the flat cable is not damaged by crushing, sharp edges or unsuitable terminations.
Building a clear purchase schedule
State whether the requirement is fixed internal wiring or flexible connection cable. List documented size, roll quantities, insulation and sheath requirements, site destination and any approval evidence needed before procurement.
Specifications
Specifications vary by manufacturer and configuration. Confirm the points below when you enquire and we will quote against them.
Conductor or fibre specification and cable construction
Circuit or network duty and required performance
Installation method and environmental conditions
Route lengths, quantities and packaging
Required documentation and delivery destination
Applications
- Internal lighting circuits and connections where the design permits a two-conductor cable
- Residential fixed wiring selected against the approved circuit specification
- Commercial internal wiring and replacement schedules
- Wholesale supply for electrical contractors and building-material distributors
Frequently asked questions
Does twin flat cable include an earth conductor?
Twin flat without earth contains two conductors. It is different from twin with earth, which also includes a protective earth. Confirm your circuit earthing requirement before ordering.
What sizes and packaging are documented?
The documented sizes are 1.0 mm², 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm². The documented packaging is 90-metre rolls; other sizes or lengths are not confirmed on this page.
Can twin flat cable be used for lighting?
It can be considered where the selected product and circuit design permit it. Lighting equipment requiring protective earth still needs the correct earthing provision.
Is flat cable always a flexible appliance cord?
No. Flat describes the profile, not the conductor flexibility or application approval. Request the precise designation, conductor construction and datasheet.
What should a twin flat cable enquiry include?
Send the intended circuit, earthing arrangement, size, roll count, installation environment, required construction details and delivery destination.
Sourcing and export
