(A) cable model identification:

1, indicates the category of wire, use. Such as: A - installation line, B - cloth wire, C - marine cable.

2, said the armor layer, (under the small foot mark), such as: 2 - double steel tape, 3 - fine round steel wire , 4 - thick round steel wire.

3, said the outer sheath, (under the small footnote) such as: 0 - said no sheath, 1 - fiber layer, 2 - PVC sleeve.

4, indicates the material of the conductor material, such as: T-copper core wire (most of the time omitted), L-aluminum core wire.

5, indicates the insulation layer, such as: V-PVC plastic, YJ-XLPE insulation, X- rubber, Y-polyethylene material? .

6, indicates the sheath, such as: V-PVC sleeve, Y-polyethylene material, N-nylon sheath, P-copper wire braided shielding, P2-copper tape shielding.

7, indicates the characteristics, such as: B-flat type, R-soft, C-heavy, Q-light, G-high voltage, H-welding machine, S-twisted pair.

(ii) cable specifications

0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 4mm, 6mm, etc. 10 (square millimeters) is generally called wire, 10 (square) or more is called cable.
