Help fixing poor Wikipedia artical on SOOW cable

[back_ache]

Hi,

I came across an artical on wikipedia about SOOW called Tough rubber-sheathed cable it certainly doesn't /didn't reflect how we use the cable in Europe so I've given it a few tweaks, could anyone spend a few minutes tweaking it from the US perspective.

The pictures in that article do not appear to be SOOW, but rather some kind of UF cable. The cable shown in the pictures is normally found in residential or light commercial applications in the US. This is typical SOOW as found in the US:

Also, the name of that article is terrible. It is way too vague, it could refer to any cable that has EPR insulation or an EPR jacket. If the article is intended to cover SOOW and other cables of that type it should probably redirect to this Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_cord

As a matter of fact, I just edited the redirect to point to Portable Cord.
