Are these SEC's sunlight resistant

[randynavarro]

I don't see any markings indicating these service cables are rated for exposure to the sun (which they are in this installation).

As the plastic / nylon jacket is deteriorating, it appears they're NOT rated for sunlight.

Am I missing something?

Hi Randy,

My Hansen's says that it's alright for that purpose, however that doesn't look like SEU, SER or URD type cable although it's hard to tell from the picture.

OT - OF!!!

MTW - Machine Tool Wire, dry locations

THHN - Thermoplastic insulation, dry locations

THWN - Thermoplastic insulation, wet locations

All the above would be marked "SUNLIGHT RESISTANTâ€

Apparently not.

That's useful. Thanks.

I had to learn that stuff for a class once, but it's presently all a tad fuzzy.

I met Jesus himself finally after all these years. I had a nice discussion with him (he answered many questions I've alway pondered over) and the next thing I knew I was sitting in the rose bushes below where I'd set my ladder. . . .

So, is he a union man?
