NOTES: ( ) = AWG conductor diameter → (mm) = not a normal metric size
PE = metric Polyethylene insulated cable
PIC = AWG Polyethylene insulated cable, sometimes called "plastic insulated cable"
as contrasted to older pulp or paper insulated cable.
PVC = Polyvinyl chloride insulated cable
DW = European drop wire, overhead/aerial
DUG = European underground drop cable
Metric & AWG Wire Gauges: R & C (0Hz/DC, 20 °C or 70°F)
