I replaced a light switch. Photo at the link
The wiring is old. I believe there is black casing over the wiring and then wrapped in that cloth sheathing. Any idea what that cloth is? Is it fire retardant?
The casing and cloth sheathing seem to be delicate. The wire is extremely stiff. The wire is exposed past the screw point on the light switch and might be resting on the plastic portion of the light switch. Do I need to wrap that area with electrical tape? If so, can I simply wrap the tape around the cloth sheathing and wiring or do I need to roll that sheathing back and wrap it around what I hope will be black casing surrounding the wire. Thanks.
