Update #1 with some of the suggestions so far. Might also be worth having tables grouping specific sets of terms together (e.g. voltage designations such as LV/HV, etc)?

May also be useful to have a separate table for cable codes?

Useful blog here, but unfortunately can't be copied and pasted: Meaning of Cable types NYY, NYA, NYM, NYFGbY, etc, "Cable Nomenclatures" - https://diary-of-electric.blogspot.com/2018/12/meaning-of-cable-types-or-nomenclature.html

OK, take 3! With some tables covering what LV/HV etc commonly mean, and cables in common UK use.

I'm sure folks will have other views and corrections so please take a look and let me know. Just updated as forgot ESQCR, etc
