Types of Cables & Wires

Conductor Cables

A conductor is a conductive substance that has been designed to convey electric current. a wire, cable, or other metal conduit placed to carry electric current from one piece of electrical equipment to another or to ground.

There are 2 types of conductor cables: single conductor cables and multiple conductor cables. One copper wire, either stranded or solid core, is coated with PVC insulation and a cotton or rayon braid to form single-conductor wire. And Any cable with more than one conductor is referred to as multi-conductor cable. When only one conductor is present, the product is referred to as a wire or a lead wire. A cable or multi-conductor cable is created when more conductors are added to the product.

What is a Coaxial Cable?

A coaxial cable has an inner conductor that is surrounded by an insulating layer and a conductive covering. Cable operators, telephone companies, and internet providers utilize coaxial cable to deliver data, video, and voice communications to consumers all over the world. It's also been widely employed in private residences. RG-6, RG-11, and RG-59 are the three most popular cable diameters. The majority of connectors are F-style, although it's conceivable that your system employs N-type connectors. For RG-6 cables, there are three types of F-type connections: crimp-style connectors, compression connectors and screw-on connectors.

What is Fiber Optic Cable?

A fiber optic cable is a type of network cable that is made up of strands of glass fibers that are enclosed in an insulated casing. They're made for long-distance, high-performance data networking and telecommunications applications. Fiber optic lines have a higher bandwidth than conventional cables and can carry data across longer distances. Much of the world's internet, cable television, and telephone services are supported by fiber optic connections.
