2. Sleeve (construction) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeve_(construction)

   For cables we provide wall/deck penetration sleeve to avoid any damage to cable from material shifting on deck. Deck penetrations on offshore platform provided to avoid water/chemical dripping to lower deck in case of spillage. Acts as toe guard. For wall penetrations it can be a type of strengthening.

3. Thermoplastic-sheathed cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic-sheathed_cable

   During the "rough in" stage of a wiring project, TPS cable has been run through holes in wooden supports and protective metal plates have been fastened in place. Each of the current carrying conductors in the "core" is insulated by an individual thermoplastic sheath, coloured to indicate the purpose of the conductor concerned.

4. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

   The conduit methods were known to be of better quality, but cost significantly more than K&T. [2] In 1909, flexible armored cable cost about twice as much as K&T, and conduit cost about three times the price of K&T. [6] Knob and tube wiring persisted since it allowed owners to wire a building for electricity at lower cost.

5. Heat-shrink tubing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-shrink_tubing

   Animation of heat-shrink tubing, before and after shrinking. Heat-shrink tubing (or, commonly, heat shrink or heatshrink) is a shrinkable plastic tube used to insulate wires, providing abrasion resistance and environmental protection for stranded and solid wire conductors, connections, joints and terminals in electrical wiring.

6. Penetrant (mechanical, electrical, or structural) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetrant_(mechanical...

   Penetrants, or penetrating items, are the mechanical, electrical or structural items that pass through an opening in a wall or floor, such as pipes, electrical conduits, ducting, electrical cables and cable trays, or structural steel beams and columns. When these items pierce a wall or floor assembly, they create a space between the penetrant ...

7. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

   Electrical conduit provides very good protection to enclosed conductors from impact, moisture, and chemical vapors. Varying numbers, sizes, and types of conductors can be pulled into a conduit, which simplifies design and construction compared to multiple runs of cables or the expense of customized composite cable.
