FOREWORD
This booklet lists Code Words for secondary (600 volt) underground distribution (UD) cables, and identifies their
constructions. Reference to primary (5, 15, and 25kV) cables has been deleted as the designs included are
not current with the styles used today.
It has been the practice for many years to employ code words for bare, covered (weatherproof), and low voltage
secondary and neutral supported service drop insulated cables used in overhead systems. (Refer to The
Aluminum Association publication "Code Words for Aluminum Conductors".) With the rapid expansion in the
use of UD cables in the last decade and the proliferation in the sizes, types and constructions available, the
advantages of establishing code words for these products was apparent. Consequently, manufacturers have
assigned code words to UD cables as a convenient means of concisely defining specific cable designs
(conductor size, insulation type, voltage rating, neutral configuration and size, number of phase conductors and
type of assembly). The use of code words in catalogs, orders, invoices and other production and sales records
not only provides a brief identification for UD cables but also minimizes the chance for errors in transcribing the
longer, detailed description for each cable.
Learning from the experience gained in standardizing the code word system for overhead products, the same
basic principles were employed in the assignment of code words for UD cables accepted by and registered with
the Electrical Technical Committee of The Aluminum Association.
This booklet lists UD cable code words and identifies their constructions, includes the details of the code word
system and outlines the procedure for registering new code words. Preceding the tables identifying the UD
cable constructions is a list of characteristics that are implied by the code word itself without any suffix. This is
followed by a list of the suffixes to be used with the code words for designating variations in those
characteristics. Selected examples show how the system works.
The 600V UD cables referenced in Tables A through H2 are manufactured to the applicable ASTM, UL, and
ICEA specifications. Following the tables is an alphabetical listing of all UD cable code words with references to
the pages where the cable data may be found.
The booklet concludes with a list of standards and specifications relating to UD cables which are endorsed by
The Aluminum Association.
All Aluminum Association published standards, data, specifications and other material are reviewed at least
every five years and revised, reaffirmed or withdrawn. Users are advised to contact the Aluminum Association
to ascertain whether the information in this publication has been superseded in the interim between publication
and proposed use.

CODE WORD SYSTEM FOR UD CABLE
The code word system for UD cables is similar to that employed for many years for overhead conductors and
cables. Code words have been selected from a common source for each category of UD cables. The code
word, with or without suffixes, identifies a distinctive cable design. A basic cable design is designated by a code
word without suffixes (implied notations); suffixes are added where needed to delineate deviations from the
basic design. Suffix notations used with bare, covered and insulated overhead wires and cables are retained,
where applicable, and are supplemented by additional suffixes to identify features of UD cables not found in
overhead products.
This system provides not only a logical and consistent basis for assigning code words, but also serves to
broadly identify the UD cable category. For the 600V UD cable category, the code word source was “colleges
and universities”. The code word source is registered with the Aluminum Association.
PROCEDURE FOR REGISTERING CODE WORDS
FOR UD CABLES
WITH THE ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION
1. Submit code word to The Aluminum Association with a complete description of the cable design it is
intended to designate. (Words submitted may be chosen by the registrant or assigned by the Association
office. Code words should be selected from the source used for the UD cable category involved without
duplicating the code word for any other wire or cable product.)
2. If the word submitted does not appear on the Association Master List it will then be referred to the Electrical
Technical Committee. (In the case of registration by a member of that Committee, copies of the initial letter
requesting registration may be sent to other members of the Committee, thus combining Steps 1 and 2.)
3. Revised listings will be issued from time to time, as required.
