Hi Doug,
Sounds, most likely like the old "telephone" game, ie, he heard that she said
that he said that this is what we had to do.....
I've never heard of such a thing as you stated it. Most likely, the Dell group
had to replace wire that was somehow unsuitable for whatever application they
were applying for... It could be that the were applying for a Listing at UL
and needed UL Recognized wiring, marked with a Style number suitable for the
application, or the temp, voltage, flame rating etc...
it could be a similar situation for CSA or BSI or VDE or whatever....
I doubt that resistance and current were marked or required to be marked.
Resistance could be AWG size, and current depends totally on that size and
the application...
Hope this helps,
Regards,
