In the UK the common house cabling is called Twin and Earth, which is

you need to do to remove the outer is to cut a slot in it at the start
with a knife, then pull the ECC down the sheath at right angles. Which
saves any possibility of damage to the 'live' conductor's insulation.

Think it is. Has a *very* long life if not overloaded - provided vermin
can't chew the PVC. ;-)
