Should I buy Type W feeder cable or Entertainment Grade? Are they both equally “Legal”?
Listed “Type W” and “Type SC” (Entertainment Grade) feeder cables are both specifically mentioned in the NEC as “legal” for entertainment applications. TMB supplies both types: The “Type W” feeder cables are more durable, but also heavier and more expensive. The “Type SC” feeder cables are less durable but also less expensive and lighter in weight. The “Type W” is also approved for a wider range of applications than the “type SC”. TMB would recommend “Type W” for general use and “Type SC” for certain applications such as on studio lots.
