400.4 note 15 2011

Anyone notice the 11 has made it perfectly clear that cables with the suffix W are sunlight resistant? Very handy for me as we do many portable genny hook ups.

Just saying, nice code addition.

Hold on, are you saying someone is actually concerned that a temp power cable is going to deteriorate from UV in the short time they are allowed to be used?

Do I have to keep a blanket over them for the trip from the truck into the building?
