vir is bassically the same as 6491b but rubber with a clothlike look, it might still be shiny but i doubt it and the easiest way to tell if its vir is, bend it, the insulation should snap and look a bit like a shoelace
Not necessarily, it depends upon the situation. I've seen the stuff in very good condition, in capping and casing, mostly. A bit unusual for it to snap....unless it's been a subject to overheat in the past, usually close to termination points....and we do see that with some much newer cables. Yes, it's old and outdated but it's not always a case of throw your hands up in despair.
