I have attached a picture of a strange wire that i would like to identify. I was called to look at a job where the garage burned down about a month ago. The feed coming from the house to the garage was obviously burned but this cable is unlike any i have ever seen. It is seven individually insulated strands of number ten wire twisted together then wrapped with what appears to be a twine and then wrapped with some kind of tough outer shell. It is direct buried. The insulation in spite of being charred on the outside is still quite amazingly pliable. Any ideas or help in identifying this would help me to know what to recommend - should it be replaced or is it fine to leave it there and use it...?
