In the international cable industry, the letter "N" at the beginning of a cable designation carries significant technical and regulatory meaning. However, many engineers encounter confusion when comparing cables marked with N (without brackets) versus (N) (with brackets). This distinction is fundamental to understanding whether a cable is manufactured to German national standards or European harmonised standards. 在国际电缆行业中，电缆型号开头的字母"N"具有重要的技术和法规含义。然而，许多工程师在比较标有N（不带括号）和(N)（带括号）的电缆时会感到困惑。这种区别对于理解电缆是按照德国国家标准还是欧洲协调标准制造的至关重要。
