CABLES,WIRE, ELECTRICAL TERMINAL CONNECTORS & ACCESSORIES.

WIRE
A wire is a single, usually cylindrical, elongated strand of drawn metal. Wires are used to bear mechanical loads and to carry electricity and telecommunications signals. Standard sizes are determined by various wire gauges.

WIRE FORMS Solid core:-

Useful for wiring bread boards

Tend to break if flexed too many times

Stranded wire

Compromised of a number of individual strands

Tends to conduct better due to its greater surface area

Doesnt break as easily as solid core wire

Braided wire

Identical to stranded, only braided

Often used as an electromagnetic shield in noise reduction cables and as a wire conductor (like in coaxial cables)

COAXIAL CABLE
Coaxial cable is an electrical
cable consisting of a round conducting wire, surrounded by an insulating spacer, surrounded by a cylindrical conducting sheath, usually surrounded by a final insulating layer (jacket). It is used as a high frequency transmission line to carry a high-frequency or broadband signal.

RIBBON CABLE

A ribbon cable (also known as multi-wire planar cable) is a cable with many conducting wires running parallel to each other on the same flat plane. Used in low voltage applications where several wires are needed Very flexible Often used in digital equipments.

Optical fiber Cable

Transmit light through a glass material

One cable generally consists of a number of individual fibers

Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communication, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher data rates than other forms of wired and wireless communications.

Electrical Power Cable

Power cables are solid or stranded conductors surrounded by insulation, shielding, and a protective jacket. These cables are designed for high voltages (>600 V). Generally the power cables are rated Low Voltage (<1kV), Medium Voltage (6-36 kV), and High Voltage (>40 kV). Important cable performance specifications are include number of conductors, nominal outer diameter, rated voltage, rated amperage, and operating temperature. The number of conductors is the number of insulated conductors in the cable. The nominal outer diameter is the diameter of the cable or wire including insulation and jacket.

Important cable construction parameters are cable jacket, cable shielding, cable insulation, and cable conductor. Choices for cable jacket include chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), chlorosulphonated polyethylene (CSPE), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Cable shielding is a metallic layer placed around an insulated conductor or group of insulated conductors, to prevent electrostatic or electromagnetic interference between the enclosed wires and external fields. Cable shielding choices for power cables include copper tape, copper wire shield, and no shield.
Cable insulation cross linked polyethylene (XLPE), ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), polyethylene (PE), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). A cable conductor is a wire or combination of wires not insulated from one another, suitable for carrying electric current.

Cable Gland

Cable glands are typically single-cable bulkhead modules that allow barrier penetration while providing sealing and strain relief. They are sometime configurable to work with any cable within a specified size range.
