3.6 Cable identification. The following cable identification shall be placed on the outer surface of
sheaths with material designators of A and B or on a suitable marking tape placed longitudinally under
sheath materials designated D and E:
a. Manufacturer's name or CAGE code
b. PIN (see 1.2.1)
c.
Number of wires
d. Voltage rating of the component wire
e. AWG size for homogeneous cables
f.
National stock number (if applicable)
3.6.1 Sheath marking. Inked or identification marking shall be used on sheath materials designated
A and B. Indent marking is allowed only when sheath wall thickness is equal to or greater than .010 inch
(0.25 mm). Inked marking is required on all other sheath materials and those sheaths with wall thickness
less that .010 inch (0.25 mm). Marking shall repeat at intervals of not more than 24 inches (610 mm).
Continuous marking is acceptable. Marking (at the discretion of the manufacturer) may be on either one,
two, or three lines.
