Code 8544 49 · Heading 8544

Insulated electrical conductors for <= 1000 V, without connectors, other types

This covers insulated electrical conductors for <= 1000 V that have no connectors and are not covered by a more specifically named class. The conductors are classified here when they are not winding wire, coaxial conductors, vehicle, ship or aircraft assembled cables, conductors with connectors, conductors for > 1,000 V, or optical fibre cables.

For example

An insulated electrical conductor for <= 1000 V, without a connector, that is not winding wire, coaxial, an assembled vehicle, ship or aircraft cable, or an optical fibre cable
An insulated electrical cable for <= 1000 V, without connectors, that is not a winding wire, coaxial cable, an assembled vehicle, ship or aircraft cable, or an optical fibre cable

Is it for <= 80 V, for > 80 V but < 1.000 V, or for exactly 1.000 V; is it intended for telecommunications; are the individual conductor strands > 0.51 mm in diameter; and is it a twisted, coaxial, or vehicle, ship or aircraft assembled cable?

This is the catch-all under 8544: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.

Within the parent group, this is for insulated electrical conductors for <= 1000 V without connectors that do not belong to any of the sibling classes naming winding wire, coaxial conductors, vehicle, ship or aircraft assembled cables, conductors with connectors, conductors for > 1.000 V, or optical fibre cables.
