I am looking at Art. 725.49(B) and I see many different types of cables listed there, such as PAF, RFHH, TFN, and many others. I did a bunch of internet searches to see what the characteristics of those cables were and could not find any satisfactory data. The searches produced only a couple of manufacturers with obscure websites and no comprehensive data. Could someone give me a good reference that I could read to learn about these cables?
Thanks
 
Different from fixture wire

Different from fixture wire

Thanks for the reply,
I looked in that section. None of the fixture wire types of Art. 400 matches the types mentioned under 725.49(B). Class 1 circuit conductors are different from fixture wire.

The more I look, the more I am convinced that they are bogus cables. They do not exist. I think I'll send a note to NFPA so that they remove them from the next NEC edition. I wish I knew how they arrived at the types. I think there is a NEMA standard that covers them but no one manufactures them. Has anyone used them?
I have never seen them used in anywhere.

Go back and look at fixture wires, not flexible cord, in T402.3, '05, they are listed.
