Additional Information

Designation	Description
"eC" before the designation of the outer sheath	Transverse water tightness by copper foil, acting as metallic screen
"eCe" after the designation of the insulation (and before the designation of the outer sheath)	Longitudinally watertight copper wires screen, transverse water tightness by aluminium foil
"ee" before the designation of the outer sheath	Longitudinally watertight and transverse water tightness by aluminium foil, acting as metallic screen
"eCeC" after the designation of the insulation (and before the designation of the outer sheath)	Longitudinally watertight copper wires screen, transverse water tightness by copper foil

Note 1: Copper foil is used as a metallic screen in some cable designs.
