Just as a little extra....
I still haven't got to the bottom of why H05RN or H07RN is classed as more appropriate for outside use than RR. I am specifically talking about the neoprene inner sheath/jacket of the RN as opposed to the rubber inner sheath/jacket of the RR.
......
However, since writing the above 20 minutes ago I have done a little research on the net. Neoprene is in fact a rubber, a synthetic rubber. In particular neoprene 'resists degradation more than natural rubber' (Neoprene - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoprene). It is relatively inert meaning it does not react with many things, more accurately it is in a 'state of doing little'.
So, in layman's terms I guess we prefer RN as opposed to RR for 'certain' outdoor situations as it lasts longer.
