Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8544.60.40.00Higher: 38.5% vs 38.2%

If plastic insulated but assembled with optical fibers

Hybrid cables with optical components shift to assembled fiber cable subheading.

8544.42.90.90Lower: 37.6% vs 38.2%

If rated ≤1,000 V

Voltage exceeding 1,000 V is key; lower ratings go to 8544.42 for fitted conductors.

7408.11Lower: 13% vs 38.2%

If copper cable supplied bare/uninsulated

Bare copper wire for electrical use classified by material in Chapter 74, not insulated conductors.
