Distinguishing L2, L3, and L4 Cables

These cable types differ in lay method and presence of a braid. L2 and L4 (Class I) use rope lay, enhancing flexibility and strength. L3 (Class B) employs conventional helical stranding for cost efficiency, with fewer, thicker strands. L3 and L4 have a flame-retardant cotton braid for fire resistance, while L2 lacks a braid in models like TelcoFlex II and EcoSafe CO II.
