SY outer sheath is not UV tolerant either and will breakdown quickly if exposed so totally the wrong choice exposed outdoors.
 
All I can say is that majority of electricians always forgot to connect the braid of SY cable to earth, so I always have to reconnect everything properly with ferules, especially on cee form commando plugs where the screws always crush the cable strands resulting in fires, damaged machinery due to phase loss and everything, I can't see end to this.
Wish someone would come up with plugs where ring terminals are being utilized only (reduced possibility of broken threads, screws and pin walls). Seems like I'm the only one who complains about this.
Another thing is that all of them are very different from each other, thanks to competition between manufacturers.
