    The document describes a cable coding system used in India to identify cable types. The system uses codes made up of letters to designate characteristics like the conductor material (copper or aluminum), insulation material (PVC or XLPE), armor type (wire or strip), and outer sheath material (PVC). Examples are given of common cable codes and what they represent, such as YWY for copper conductor, PVC insulated, wire armored cable. The cable coding system allows for standardized identification of cable specifications.
