Explanation:
Ich glaube nicht, dass oC hier "Operations Characteristics" heißt, denn das wird mit Großbuchstaben abgekürzt. Ich glaube vielmehr, dass es sich um einen Typenfehler handelt, dass also das "o" das Gradzeichen darstellen soll (bei einer Google-Suche habe ich viele solche Beispiele gefunden). Die max. thermische Belastbarkeit des Kabels beträgt also 60 °C.
