Why the Same Cable Has Different Names Around the World

If you’ve ever compared datasheets from different countries,
you’ve probably noticed — the same cable can have completely different names.
Here’s why
YJV / YJLV — Chinese standard (GB / IEC 60502)
YJ = XLPE insulation, V = PVC sheath L=Aluminum Core
NA2XY
A = aluminum, X = XLPE, Y = PVC
The logic is universal:
All cable names describe 4 things → Conductor + Insulation + Shield/Armor + Sheath.
So before assuming two cables are “the same,”
always compare their structure, not just their name.
That’s how you avoid costly mistakes in international projects.
