Which cable types are now required for:

a) nonburied run to shed, some attached to brickwork, some laid on
ground under plants
b) surface clipped run to lighting, some lengths under plants some not.



If there is a risk of damage due to strimmers/ cutters etc then you need
a cable with an outer earth sheath. So that's SWA or SY.

If not then use NYY-J cable.

I hadn't heard of NYY-J until now, why would you use it rather than SWA?
