Classic:
"3 conductors ø 2 = 3,1416 mm2 monowire cable , silvered pure recooked cooper (sic), insulated by hydrophobic natural cotton."
TRANSLATION
2 conductors and some useless middle wire that came with the bulk deal we got from Army surplus. Silvered-coated copper, insulated by natural cotton that is terribly afraid of water. Don't worry, we capped off the unused cable and shrink-wrapped the ends to hold in the cotton.
