NOTES:
1. Where it is intended to connect the cables in this table to equipment or accessories designed to operate at a
temperature lower than the maximum operating temperature of the cable, the cables should be rated at the
maximum operating temperature of the equipment or accessory (see Regulation 512.1.5).
2. Where it is intended to group a cable in this tablewith other cables, the cable should be rated at the lowest of the
maximum operating temperatures of any of the cables in the group (see Regulation 512.1.5).
