Cable Jacket Types Explained

Nomenclature Key

What each letter in the cable jacket description means.

S	Service Grade (also means extra hard service when not followed by J, V, or P)
J	Hard Service
V	Vacuum cleaner cord (also light duty cable)
P	Parallel cord (also known as zip cord) – Always light duty
E	Thermoplastic Elastomer (UL/NEC designation ONLY)
O	Oil Resistant*
T	Thermoplastic
W	Outdoor-includes sunlight resistant jacket and wet location rated conductors (formerly "W-A")
H	Heater cable
VW-1	Flame retardant (Vertical specimen Flame Test)
FT2	Flame retardant (Horizontal specimen Flame Test)

* When only one "O" appears in a classification (i.e. SJEOW), only the outer jacket material is oil resistant. If two "O's" are in the classification (i.e. SEOOW), the insulation covering the conductors and the outer jacket insulation are both oil resistant.
