Generally, this cable is better than our standard type. It is, however, somewhat softer and more resilient, than the standard cable, and in consequence, it is more difficult to press into, and grip, in the plug insulated terminals. The use of it may, therefore, entail a modification to the plug terminal. Also, we understand that the cost is a little more than that of the standard cable.
