Comment to 3754.
----------
Black = LV/MV* electricity
Red = HV* electricity
Yellow = gas
Blue = potable water
Grey = telecomms
Green = cable telly, and by extension OLO telecomms
Orange = traffic signals
Purple = other road-related comms systems

* LV 250V, 250 MV 500, HV 500V


The query was for low voltage cable.
