Turkish type names (TR): how to read the cable type names
Each name in Turkish type names (TR) stands for a whole cable type: TTR, for example, comes with its own construction, standard and rating. The decoder knows 3 types of this system. Below: how the names are built, every type with its rating, and the sources the table names.
How a name is built
The type table splits each name into parts and records what each part means. A few names taken apart:

| CL5 | Copper Conductor, Many-Stranded, Flexible (Class 5) |
| PVC | PVC insulation |
| PVC | PVC sheath |
TTR: the Turkish trade name of H05VV-F, a flexible cord of fine-stranded (class 5) copper cores in PVC insulation under a PVC sheath
ANTIGRON
| ANTIGRON | Antigron: the Turkish trade word for the NVV (NYM) installation cable (makers head it 'NVV (NYM) ... (Antigron)'); not a letter code |
| PVC | PVC insulation |
| PVC | PVC sheath |
Antigron: the Turkish trade word for the NVV (NYM) installation cable, solid or stranded copper cores in PVC insulation under a PVC sheath, for fixed installation
YASSI TTR
| YASSI TTR | Yassı TTR (flat TTR): a Turkish maker's name for H07VVH6-F, the flat PVC flexible cable; a name, not a letter code |
| CL5 | Copper Conductor, Many-Stranded, Flexible (Class 5) |
