Can anyone tell me why nym-j cable is not used in the uk?

It is used in UK by the MOD and others. The main reason it is not used more often is it's lack of British or Harmonised Standard approval, however any installer wishing to use it may refer to DIN/VDE 0250, use the manufacturers data in the design and satisfy themselves that this cable provides at least the same degree of safety as BS or IEC types in accordance with BS7671 133.1

Thanks for that, any more info on it would be great, it is a very versatile cable.

Is there a more common name for it? I think Hi Tuff is Cym-j, is this something similar?
