You're right, I found the French expression "câble du Code" in that Canadian document (P32)
Althea Draper Feb 19, 2021:
National Electrical Code maybe? There is a similar one for Canada, so it might be best to check them both out.

Sorry it doesn't help with the translation though.
Sandrine Nouvel (asker) Feb 19, 2021:
I'm translating here into French (Canadian) and so I suppose the source document is indeed American...
Tony M Feb 19, 2021:
@ Asker 'Code' here refers to the regulations for electrical installations, which are referred to as 'Code' — cf. also 'Building Code' for building regs.
So I'm assuming this is referring to a generic type of cable used in 'Code'-respecing installations. I'm assuming this document is probably US, and it would be very helpful to state that when posting your questions.
