The electrical cable wires boat lift switches, controls, and boat lift motors. A 14/5 classification means it has (5) 14 gauge wires; white, red, orange, green, blue. A 12/5 classification means it has (5) 12 gauge wires; white, red, orange, green, blue. UL VW-1 E46194 standard. PVC is used for the cable’s core insulation. Copper conductor material. The black outer jacket is made of thermoplastic and vinyl. The jacket filler is poly rope. The maximum voltage is 300V. This cable is rated 105C water-resistant 300m for outdoor use.
SJTW is an industry abbreviation for the classification of electrical cables and their internal wires. S stands for service and J stands for junior. Junior means hard service instead of extra hard. T is the type of coating, which is thermoplastic/vinyl. W stands for weather approved.
So SJTW electrical cable is a hard service, thermoplastic jacket cable rated up to 300v and approved for use outdoors in the weather.
Cables are classified based on the gauge of their individual wires and the number of those wires inside their jackets. A 12/5 classification consists of 5 wires, each of which is 12 gauge wires. A 14/5 classification consists of 5 wires, each of which is 14 gauge wires.
