SUBS Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Had some 300 mtr drums of Mayflex CT100 equivalent with O/C outer braids once. Blamed it on the subbies who installed it though ! Cant you find the breaks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RJBsec Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 No, but I would generally have spare cores available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpotter Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 No, but I would generally have spare cores available. With FSL we often end up with loads of spare cores (only ever use 8core). Cant say ever had cores broken on a new drum, but have had the sheath go "fat" in places (mainly on Delta, so switched to CQR few years ago).

Woosh Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have found this week on two different drums that the brown and black have parts of their insulation missing and are a short circuit. Thankfully FSL and spare cores available. I only use 8 core to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawandorder Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have found this week on two different drums that the brown and black have parts of their insulation missing and are a short circuit. Thankfully FSL and spare cores available. I only use 8 core to. I had similar problems with a few rolls bought back in the 90s, as I recall it was a faulty batch and I got away quite lightly as it was a one off roll I bought when my suppliers didn't have any CQR in stock. Not something you expect though and it can get you scratching your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
