It is known as SWA BS 5467 Cable and it has a voltage rating of 600/1000 V. [7] SWA cable can be referred to more generally as mains cable, armoured cable, power cable and booklet armoured cable. The name power cable, however, applies to a wide range of cables including 6381Y, NYCY, NYY-J and 6491X Cable.

'Twin and Earth' electrical cable to British Standard 6004, with twin 6 mm² conductors and uninsulated 2.5 mm² earth continuity conductor. Twin and earth (often written "T&E" and sometimes "T and E") cable is a colloquial name in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and other countries for a type of flat sheathed fixed mains electricity cable, containing two insulated current-carrying conductors ...
12/2 Non-metallic (NM) sheathed cable. Most circuits in the modern North American home and light commercial construction are wired with non-metallic sheathed (NM) cable designated type. [9] This type of cable is the least expensive for a given size and is appropriate for dry indoor applications.
"T" — Earth connection is by a local direct connection to earth (Latin: terra), usually via a ground rod. "N" — the earth connection is supplied by the electricity supply network, either separately to the neutral conductor (TN-S), combined with the neutral conductor (TN-C), or both (TN-C-S). These are discussed below.
The neutral conductor of a 3-phase, 4-wire system and the middle conductor of a 2- phase, 3-wire system must have at least 2 separate and distinct earth connections with a minimum of 2 different earth electrodes to have a satisfactory earth resistance; The earth electrodes must be interconnected to reduce earth resistance
The cable is a three conductor twisted "triplex" cable with a bare neutral and two insulated conductors, with no overall cable jacket. [1] The neutral conductor is often a supporting "messenger" steel wire, which is used to support the insulated line conductors.
Most cable of this kind is coaxial or bundled fiber-optic cable. In the 20th century much of it was filled cable. Direct-buried cable is cheaper and easier to lay than other kinds of cable that require protection from the earth. [1] However, DBC is also easily cut during digging or other excavations.
