Due to the different requirements and philosophies in
each individual standard, one cable cannot satisfy both
standards at the same time.
In order to meet these standards and not to compromise
the performance of the cable, one type of cable is needed
to satisfy the requirements of the German specification
and another cable type is needed to satisfy the UL
requirements.
