In portable cord terminology, each letter of the cable type indicates the construction of the cable. For example: S = service, O = oil-resistant jacket, J = junior service (300 volts), W = weather resistant, T = thermoplastic, and OO = oil-resistant insulation and jacket.
In high-voltage cables, insulation reduces the risk of shock and electrocution. In shielded cables, insulation acts a buffer between the conductor and shield. In multiconductor cables, insulation prevents the conductor’s current from coming into contact with other conductors.
What is wire & Cable Insulation? Insulation is a nonconductive material within a cable's construction. It is also often called a dielectric in radio frequency cables. Insulation resists electrical leakage, which prevents the wire's

The purpose of the Wire and Cable Partnership was to evaluate the lifecycle environmental impacts of standard (leaded) and alternative (leadfree and/or zero halogen) cable insulation and jacketing formulations for three cable types (CMR, CMP, and NMB) using the lifecycle assessment (LCA) approach.
Insulation protects a cable mechanically from scraps and abrasion and environmentally from moisture and spills. But insulation is transparent to electromagnetic energy and offers no protection. Shielding is needed to combat the effects of EMI. Cables can be a main source of transfer for EMI, both as a source and receiver. As a source, the
paper insulated cable types: a higher conductor temperature, a more compact cable for the same power rating, lighter moisture barriers (resulting in a lighter cable), and an easier way of joining the extruded cables, which requires less skills and avoids
