  2. Tinsel wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinsel_wire

    It is also used in power cords for small appliances such as electric shavers or clocks, where stranded cable conductors of adequate mechanical size would be too stiff. [2] Tinsel cords are recognized as type TPT or TST in the US and Canadian electrical codes, and are rated at 0.5 amperes.

  3. Thermoplastic-sheathed cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic-sheathed_cable

    4/1.5 mm 2 and 6/2.5 mm 2 have stranded conductors and a solid CPC (fixed high power equipment or sub-mains) 10/4 mm 2 and 16/6 mm 2 have stranded conductors and CPC (fixed high power equipment or sub-mains) In older properties (pre-1970) cable with imperial sizes are found, sometimes without CPC.

  4. Tough rubber-sheathed cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tough_rubber-sheathed_cable

    A typical rubber sheath cable. The conductors are actually copper but are coated and look silver. Cross section. Note the solid core center earth wire and multi strand power wires. Tough rubber-sheathed cable is a type of cable which normally consists of a black outer sheath of rubber with several conductors inside. The rubber provides an ...

  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. Datasheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datasheet

    Front page of a floppy disk controller data sheet (1979) A datasheet, data sheet, or spec sheet is a document that summarizes the performance and other characteristics of a product, machine, component (e.g., an electronic component), material, subsystem (e.g., a power supply), or software in sufficient detail that allows a buyer to understand what the product is and a design engineer to ...

  7. Telecommunications cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_cable

    Telecommunications cable is a type of guided transmission medium. Telecommunications are based on transmitting and receiving modulated waves/signals through a medium. Types of telecommunications cable include: [1] [2] electrical cables when electric current is carried; transmission lines and waveguides when electromagnetic waves are transmitted; optical fibers when light signals are transmitted.

  8. 10BASE2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10BASE2

    10BASE2 uses RG-58A/U cable or similar for a maximum segment length of 185 m as opposed to the thicker RG-8-like cable used in 10BASE5 networks with a maximum length of 500 m. The RG-58 type wire used by 10BASE2 was inexpensive, smaller and much more flexible than the specialized RG-8 variant. 10BASE2 can also use RG-59 cable.

  9. High-voltage cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_cable

    High voltage is defined as any voltage over 1000 volts. [3] Those of 2 to 33 kV are usually called medium voltage cables, those over 50 kV high voltage cables.. Modern HV cables have a simple design consisting of a few parts: the conductor, the conductor shield, the insulation, the insulation shield, the metallic shield, and the jacket.
