How to differentiate visually various powerlink cables

I know the MK3 has a triangle. Is it possible to identify MK2 visually from Mk1 or Mk3.
Thanks

Yes, it's fully wired and visibly thicker. Here's a summary of the three types.

Fully wired would mean 5pin or 7pin? Is there a relationship between pins and mk2 or mk3?

Is it correct that mk2 has 8 pins

They all have 8 pin connectors! However, Mk.2 is the only version that has them all connected.

Actually all B&O Powerlink cables have been replaced with a new type.

The new Power Link cables are double-shielded Ø5.5 mm cables.

The following additional Power link cables chnages have been introduced with the improved double-shielding and new part numbers

100 metre cables will be replaced by 50 m cables with Power Link plugs to use in connection with the Power Link Junction Box.
A grey installation cable with metre marks has been introduced for 300 metre professional cable reels.
Fully mounted Power Link cables Ø3.5 mm are replaced by extra shielded type Ø5.5 mm cable.

Regards Keith....
