Types of Cables & Wires

Conductor Cables

A conductor refers to a material designed to carry electrical current. It can be a wire, cable, or metal pathway used to transmit electricity between electrical components or to ground.

There exist two primary types of conductor cables: single conductor and multiple conductor cables. Single-conductor wires consist of a single copper wire—either stranded or solid core—coated with PVC insulation and often encased in a cotton or rayon braid. On the other hand, any cable housing more than one conductor is categorized as a multi-conductor cable. In cases where only a single conductor is present, it's typically termed as a wire or lead wire, while the addition of more conductors forms a cable or multi-conductor cable.

What is a Coaxial Cable?

A coaxial cable consists of an inner conductor enveloped by insulation and a conductive shield. This cable type serves as a crucial conduit for data, video, and voice communications, extensively used by cable operators, telephone companies, and internet providers worldwide. Its application extends to private residences as well. Among the commonly used cable diameters are RG-6, RG-11, and RG-59. F-style connectors dominate the landscape, although some systems might incorporate N-type connectors. When it comes to RG-6 cables, three primary types of F-type connections exist: crimp-style connectors, compression connectors, and screw-on connectors.

What is Fiber Optic Cable?

A fiber optic cable comprises strands of glass fibers encased in insulation, designed specifically for high-performance data networking and telecommunications across long distances. These cables boast higher bandwidth capacities compared to conventional ones, enabling them to transmit data over extended distances. Fiber optic connections underpin a significant portion of the world's internet, cable television, and telephone services due to their exceptional capabilities.

Application of Cables & Wires

Cables and wires serve as crucial power sources for various appliances and electrical devices, from common household items like televisions, washing machines, and PCs to modern gadgets like smartphones, tablets, and IT equipment. Our inventory offers a diverse array of cables and wires tailored for electrical power, audio, network, and telecommunication applications to meet a wide range of needs.
