2. Electrical tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_tape

   Electrical tape (or insulating tape) is a type of pressure-sensitive tape used to insulate electrical wires and other materials that conduct electricity. It can be made of many plastics but PVC (polyvinyl chloride, "vinyl") is the most popular, as it stretches well and gives effective and long-lasting insulation.

3. Self-amalgamating tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-amalgamating_tape

   Self-amalgamating tape is a non-tacky silicone rubber tape that when stretched and wrapped around cables, electrical joints, hoses, and pipes combines or unites itself into a strong, seamless, rubbery, waterproof, and electrically insulating layer. [1] [2] Unlike many other polymers and fibers, it is heat-, sunlight-, and weather-resistant.

4. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

   Rubber-like synthetic polymer insulation is used in industrial cables and power cables installed underground because of its superior moisture resistance. Insulated cables are rated by their allowable operating voltage and their maximum operating temperature at the conductor surface. A cable may carry multiple usage ratings for applications, for ...

5. Duct tape - Wikipedia

   However, other studies suggest the duct tape treatment is more effective than existing medical options. [52] [53] Duct tape is often used in shoe repair due to its resiliency. [54] [55] Duct tape has been used to temporarily fix Apple's iPhone 4 dropped call issue, as an alternative to Apple's own rubber case. [56]

6. Coaxial cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable

   Coaxial cable insulation may degrade, requiring replacement of the cable, especially if it has been exposed to the elements on a continuous basis. The shield is normally grounded, and if even a single thread of the braid or filament of foil touches the center conductor, the signal will be shorted causing significant or total signal loss.

7. List of adhesive tapes - Wikipedia

   This tape has adhesive on both sides, and is used to stick two surfaces together. Duct tape Usually gray in color, this tape is backed with scrim, often coated with rubber or plastic. [1] Elastic therapeutic tape Also known as "K tape" and "kinesiology tape", it is an elastic-cotton strip backed with acrylic adhesive.
