When cable has only one core, aluminium wire armour (AWA) is used instead of steel wire. This is because the aluminium is non-magnetic. A magnetic field is produced by the current in a single core cable. This would induce an electric current in the steel wire, which could cause overheating.
Cutaway diagram of a shielded multicore cable with four cores each with three individual conductors. A multicore cable is a type of electrical cable that combines multiple signals or power feeds into a single jacketed cable. [1] The term is normally only used in relation to a cable that has more cores than commonly encountered. [2]
This type of cable can easily flex, and it is designed to handle low-level voltages. Shielded cable – Used for sensitive electronic circuits or to provide protection in high-voltage applications. Single cable (from time to time this name is used for wire) Structured cabling; Submersible cable; Twin and earth; Twinax cable

Cable assembly containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light A TOSLINK optical fiber cable with a clear jacket. These cables are used mainly for digital audio connections between devices. A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly ...
Cross section of a single-mode optical fiber patch cord end, taken with a fiberscope. The circle is the cladding, 125 μm in diameter. Debris is visible as a streak on the cross-section, and glows due to the illumination. A typical single-mode optical fiber has a core diameter between 8 and 10.5 μm [7] and a cladding
Solid wire, also called solid-core or single-strand wire, consists of one piece of metal wire. Solid wire is useful for wiring breadboards. Solid wire is cheaper to manufacture than stranded wire and is used where there is little need for flexibility in the wire.
BS 6231 is a British Standard, last revised in 2006 by the BSI Group. [4] This standard specifies the performance and construction requirements of electrical cables that are single core, non-sheathed, PVC-insulated and rated 600/1000 V. Wire meeting the requirements of type CK of this standard is used as tri-rated wire.
