Construction: These cables usually contain 4, 6, or 8 cores of stranded tinned copper or tinned copper-clad aluminum (TCCA).
Color Coding: Standard 8-core colors often include red, black, blue, white, yellow, green, brown, and orange.
Shielding: Many versions include an aluminum foil shield and a drain wire to minimize electrical interference.
