    They say there are no stupid questions but I might be about to disprove that - PME

    Probably a stupid question.

    Why doesnt T&E cable have Reference Method E (perforated cable tray) listed in table 4D5 (page 340 green)? Although table 4D2A does and says it's multicore cable with or without a CPC? What's the difference between this cable and T&E? Thanks in advance.
