Ceramic cable insulator in terracotta colour – Ø16 mm, 22 mm, for external retro installation, 6 pcs.
Ceramic cable insulator in terracotta colour is designed for exposed installation of braided electrical wires on walls and ceilings. The insulator allows the wire to be fixed away from the mounting surface while maintaining the characteristic appearance of classic and retro electrical installations.
The insulator is made of ceramic, with a diameter of Ø16 mm and a height of 22 mm. It is recommended to install the insulators approximately every 0.5 m. The package contains 6 insulators and wood screws for mounting them.
Main purpose:
The ceramic insulator is designed for fixing braided electrical wires in exposed installations. It is mounted to the wall or ceiling using a wood screw, while the wire is routed through or alongside the insulator according to the selected retro installation solution.Diameter

6 pcs.Operating principle
The ceramic insulator is used as a mechanical support and separation element in exposed wire installations. It is fixed to the wall or ceiling, while the braided electrical wire is routed through the designated fixing points.
The insulators are positioned along the planned wire route and help maintain a consistent distance between the wire and the wall or ceiling surface. This installation method is characteristic of visible retro-style electrical installations.
Exposed wire installation:
The wires are not concealed inside the wall. They are routed along the surface and fixed to ceramic insulators, making the electrical installation a visible part of the interior.Designed for braided wires
The insulator is designed for use with braided wires intended for exposed retro installations. Such wires are typically left visible and become part of the overall interior design.
- suitable for surface-mounted wire installations;
- used for wires on walls;
- used for wires on ceilings;
- helps maintain a neat wire route;
- matches retro-style electrical installation components.
Important regarding wires:
Use only wires specifically suitable for exposed electrical installations and other compatible electrical installation components. A decorative wire appearance alone does not mean that the wire is suitable for permanent electrical installation.Ceramic construction
The insulator is made of ceramic, which is used for insulating and decorative elements in exposed electrical installations.
- ceramic construction;
- electrically non-conductive material;
- hard and stable construction;
- glossy decorative surface;
- terracotta colour matches classic interiors.
Terracotta colour and retro design
The terracotta colour gives the insulator the appearance of traditional ceramic and allows it to be used as a visible design element of the electrical installation.
- suitable for classic interiors;
- matches vintage-style finishes;
- suitable for country houses and restored buildings;
- can be used in loft interiors;
- matches braided retro-style wires.
Ceramic insulators can be combined with retro-style switches, socket outlets, junction boxes and braided wires. This creates a consistent visible electrical installation system.
Recommended installation every 0.5 m
It is recommended to install the insulators approximately every 0.5 m.
- helps maintain a straight wire route;
- reduces wire sag between fixing points;
- helps maintain a uniform installation appearance;
- allows neat horizontal and vertical routes to be formed;
- additional fixing points may be required at bends or near equipment.
Installation spacing:
0.5 m is a recommended spacing. The actual arrangement of the insulators must be selected according to the wire route, bends, type of wire used and the requirements of the specific electrical installation.Technical parameters

Practical example of use
For example, a visible retro-style lighting installation is to be installed in a wooden country house. The planned route of the braided electrical wires is marked on the wall.
Ceramic insulators are mounted along the route at approximately 0.5 m intervals. Additional fixing points may be used at bends, switches, socket outlets or other installation components.
The braided wire is routed according to the planned path, while the terracotta-coloured ceramic insulators also become a visible interior design element.
Use according to requirements
For homeowners: allows the creation of a visible retro-style electrical installation that becomes part of the interior.
For country house owners: the terracotta-coloured ceramic matches wooden walls and traditional-style finishes well.
For interior designers: the insulators can be combined with braided wires, retro switches, socket outlets and other visible installation elements.
For electricians: it is important to properly plan the wire route, the number of fixing points and use wires specifically suitable for exposed installations.
For installers: the wall or ceiling material must be assessed and suitable insulators and wood screw fixings selected.

Installation instructions
- Plan the wire route. Mark where the braided wires will be routed along the walls or ceiling.
- Mark the insulator positions. A spacing of approximately 0.5 m is recommended on straight sections.
- Plan additional fixing points. They may be required at bends in the route, near switches, socket outlets or junction boxes.
- Check the mounting surface. Assess the wall or ceiling material and its suitability for the wood screws being used.
- Disconnect the power supply. If the work is carried out on an existing electrical installation, the circuit must be safely disconnected.
- Fix the insulator. Insert the wood screw through the central hole of the insulator and secure it to the surface.
- Do not overtighten the wood screw. Secure the ceramic insulator firmly, but do not compress it with excessive force.
- Install the remaining insulators according to the planned route.
- Route the braided wires through the prepared fixing points.
- Check the entire route. The wires should be arranged neatly and all insulators should be securely fixed.
Installation and usage notes
- Use only wires suitable for exposed electrical installations.
- Plan the wire route before installing the insulators.
- The recommended spacing between insulators is approximately 0.5 m.
- Additional fixing points may be required at bends and near installation components.
- Do not overtighten the wood screw to avoid damaging the ceramic.
- Check that the mounting surface is suitable for the wood screws being used.
- Check the actual dimensions of the insulator and wire before installation.
- Electrical installation components must be selected as a mutually compatible system.
- Electrical installation and connection work must be carried out by a qualified professional.
