  2. IEC 60228 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60228

    Comparison of SWG (red), AWG (blue) and IEC 60228 (black) wire gauge sizes from 0.03 to 200 mm² to scale on a 1 mm grid – in the SVG file, hover over a size to highlight it. In engineering applications, it is often most convenient to describe a wire in terms of its cross-section area, rather than its diameter, because the cross section is directly proportional to its strength and weight ...

  3. Wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

    The current British Standard for metallic materials including wire is BS 6722:1986, which is a solely metric standard, superseding 3737:1964, which used the SWG system. The IEC 60228 , used in most parts of the world, defines standard wire sizes based on their cross-sectional areas as expressed in mm 2 . [ 3 ]

  4. IEC metric screw sized connectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_metric_screw_sized...

    Ethernet cable with an M12 X-coded connector in one end and a modular connector in the other. IEC metric screw sized connectors is a family of electrical connectors defined by IEC that are named according to their ISO metric screw thread , namely M5 , M8 and M12 . [ 1 ]

  5. Twin and earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_and_earth

    'Twin and Earth' electrical cable to British Standard 6004, with twin 6 mm² conductors and uninsulated 2.5 mm² earth continuity conductor. Twin and earth (often written "T&E" and sometimes "T and E") cable is a colloquial name in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and other countries for a type of flat sheathed fixed mains electricity cable, containing two insulated current-carrying conductors ...

  6. Modular connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_connector

    An 8P8C modular plug. This is the common crimp-type plug, of the same kind pictured above crimped onto a cable (with molded sleeve). A modular connector is a type of electrical connector for cords and cables of electronic devices and appliances, such as in computer networking, telecommunication equipment, and audio headsets.

  7. M.2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2

    The M.2 standard allows module widths of 12, 16, 22 and 30 mm, and lengths of 16, 26, 30, 38, 42, 60, 80 and 110 mm. Initial line-up of the commercially available M.2 expansion cards is 22 mm wide, with varying lengths of 30, 42, 60, 80 and 110 mm. [3] [5] [14] [18] The codes for the M.2 module sizes contain both the width and length of a ...

  8. Category 5 cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable

    Cross section of a cat 5e cable. The Category 5e specification improves upon the Category 5 specification by further mitigating crosstalk. [9] The bandwidth (100 MHz) and physical construction are the same between the two, [10] and most Cat 5 cables actually happen to meet Cat 5e specifications even though they are not certified as such. [11]

  9. Thermoplastic-sheathed cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic-sheathed_cable

    Standard UK metric twin and earth cable sizes 1/1 mm 2 and 1.5/1 mm 2 have solid conductors and CPC (primarily used on low power lighting or alarm circuits) 2.5/1.5mm 2 has a solid CPC and may have solid or stranded conductors (primarily used for socket circuits, radial or ring circuit )
