I'm in the process of sourcing some custom cables from overseas (or 
domestically, if I could only find a supplier which could provide me 
them at a reasonable price).....

Often I'm getting quotes which specify jacket, isulation, injection, 
etc. plastics.   With descriptions like PVC, PU, TPE, PP, etc.   All of 
which I can usually google to get a name.  What I haven't found is a 
good materials reference discussing things like temperature and 
flexibility which covers more than a couple (few) cable types.   Then 
there are all the UL numbers which apparently specify certain 
characteristics, etc.

Which makes it difficult to ensure I'm getting a cable which is flexible 
in cold weather, flexible, and so on.  

So, is there a cable materials reference out there somewhere which 
discusses the materials available and compares the pluses and minuses of 
each material?
