Tower Cable Clips Double Grey For Twin & Earth Cable 2.5mm 

IIRC, 2.5mm cable is about 10mm wide.

2.5mm 2.5 mm2 is the diameter cross-section area of copper conductor.

i don't think this will be big enough?  it says 2.5mm and my cable are 2cm.

2.5mm refers to the individual inner cables. The clips to secure 2.5mm cable are about 10mm wide to allow for the inner cables & outer insulation

It says "double", doesn't it?

As I said, this cable is about 10mm wide.

10mm*2=20mm=2cm

An ebay listing selected at random - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pk-of-10-RUBBER-LINED-P-CLIPS-STAINLESS-STEEL-CHOOSE-YOUR-SIZE/261701764673 - £4 for a pack of 10. Not too shabby a price seeing as it includes postage. Stainless steel, so ideal for outdoor use.

It most certainly is not. It's 2.5 SQUARE millimetres and refers to the cross-sectional area of the conductors. The cpc will be 1.5 sq. mm in a 2.5 sq. mm T&E cable if it's a BS 6004 version. (Different for I.S. 201-4)

Yes, of course.

grumbler

It will.

Usually they are used in equipment/machinery - hence the bolts.

To clarify, I meant "it will work"
