Hi All,

690.31 (C) states that all flexible cords for solar trackers must 
meet Article 400 and table 400.4 and be rated for extra-hard use, 
weather and water resistant AND be sunlight resistant.

But in referring to Table 400.4 I see no reference to Sunlight 
Resistance nor do I see it in referring to the standard letter 
designations in Table 310.13 - except that UF cord is listed as 
sunlight resistant in Article 340 and USE in Article 338.

(And where in the code is RHW-2 (multicontact cord) listed as 
sunlight resistant?)

BUT MY MAIN QUESTION IS :Does anyone know which SO cord type is 
listed as sunlight resistant and/or where in the Code specific 
reference is made to suitable sunlight resistant flexible cord that 
will meet 690.31 (C)?

Is Sunlight Resistance covered in any standard letter designations or 
is just an add on rating printed on the Cord.  If that's the case 
where does one find Sunlight Rated SO Cord?

Thanks!

Jeff C.
