Cable designations compared · How to read a NBN cable code
EAPX(e) vs EPX(e)
Both designations are read in NBN. The symbols they share mean the same; the rows marked below are where EAPX(e) and EPX(e) differ.
EAPX(e) and EPX(e) differ in: EAPX(e): A = Aluminium Conductor.
EAPX(e)
| E | Energy Cable | in both |
| A | Aluminium Conductor | only in EAPX(e) |
| P | Paper Insulation And Lead Sheath | in both |
| X | Cross Linked Polyethelene (XLPE) | in both |
| (e) | Swelling Tape Or Water Barrier (AL/PE) | in both |
EPX(e)
| E | Energy Cable | in both |
| P | Paper Insulation And Lead Sheath | in both |
| X | Cross Linked Polyethelene (XLPE) | in both |
| (e) | Swelling Tape Or Water Barrier (AL/PE) | in both |
