Where can I get the following items:


shielded mains cable with three 2.5 mmq twisted conductors and a strong copper shield

and/ or shielded mains cable with two 1.5 mm2 stranded copper wires.

ferrite clamps

IEC plugs, figure of 8 connectors and a good quality plug (the one that goes into the wall).


I looked at rswww but got totally lost and gave up.

Any pros out there like to help me? :)

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Cheers for that but they don't sell CY cable, ferrites or IEC. But I did find them on rs, cpc and fleabay so will get the parts in the new year.

Anyone wanting shielded mains cables let me know before I order the parts ;)

Maplin maybe? Or have you tried them?

Yes, looked at Maplin- they had some bits but are a bit pricey.

A 2nd look (with the proper search terms) at RS and I found the parts, but their website is a bit crap- you can't right click and open a link which is a right pain when you've done a search and want to keep the results.

Cheers again for the input :D
