Abstract

A first aspect of the invention relates to a low voltage rigid cable comprising a substantially rigid housing, a live conductor arranged within the housing, a neutral conductor arranged within the housing, a first coupling means to couple the rigid cable with a first member, a second coupling means configured to couple the rigid cable with a second member and protection means to protect against electric shock. The protection means may comprise an earth conductor and insulating means configured to form an insulating barrier between the conductive parts of the rigid cable. In an embodiment of the invention, the housing may be configured to form an earth conductor. Further aspects of the invention relate to a rigid cable structure comprising one or more low voltage rigid cable to support and transfer an electrical current to an electrical device, a lamp assembly comprising a low voltage rigid cable coupled to a light source, a lighting system comprising at least one low voltage rigid cable and a kit of parts for a modular lighting system comprising at least one low voltage rigid cable.
