am i right in assuming it means "vulkanised insulated rubber"
the term v.i.r is used for the old style of cable that is no longer used now but what is the proper name |

Hi everybody! I don't want to get off on the wrong foot - I'm not in any way contradicting Vince's definition of VRI, but VIR actually stands for Vulcanised INDIA rubber.
It is indeed the cable of old, the scourge of many a spark...... |
