I was hoping for elaboration of the need for a signal cable,
which the Doncaster cable has built in (2-core or cat5e).


Some chargers have a current sensor on a meter tail, which senses the
total current being consumed in the house and throttles back the
charging current if there's a risk of exceeding the supply capacity. The
signal cable to which you refer is almost certainly intended for that.
