IEC 60092 shipboard cables: how to read the cable type names
Each name in IEC 60092 shipboard cables stands for a whole cable type: IEC 60092-376 comes with its own construction, standard and rating. The decoder knows one type of this system. Below: how the name is built, the type with its rating, and the sources the table names.
How a name is built
The type table does not split these names into parts: each name stands for the whole cable type.
