Cable designations compared · How to read a HAR cable code
YVV vs YVZ2V-R
Both designations are read in HAR. The symbols they share mean the same; the rows marked below are where YVV and YVZ2V-R differ.
YVV and YVZ2V-R differ in: YVZ2V-R: Z2 = Round Steel Wire; YVZ2V-R: -R = Multi-Wire, Round-Section, Class 2.
YVV
