No it isn't.
There's 4mm, 5mm, then XTR/Dura Ace has a silicon grease or some such already inside the outer, which the others don't.

6mm is brake outer generally, not gear.

SP is part of the part code for the outer. The complete code would be SP36/40/41 etc. so could be that you have been sent 41 & it just doesn't say it on the casing.
I really wouldn't worry about it & just fit it & ride.

OP the only difference is size and grease. 6mm is free-er running.

Generally, yes, you can get 6mm SIS outer though.

And SP40/50 only has grease in the logo'd end(so don't trim that end, and feed the cable in from there), SP41/51 is fully greased.
