Cable & Wire
Cable & Wire Suppliers
What is wire and cable?
The basic key difference between wires and cables is that a wire is a single conductor whereas a cable is a group of conductors. Usually, the wires are bare and are twisted. But, some of the wires are coated with thin PVC Wire.
The cable that is used for the transmission and distribution of electrical power is known as the electrical power cable. It is used for the transmission of high voltages in places where overhead lines are impractical to use.
The power cable is made of three main components, namely, conductor, dielectric, and sheath. The conducting path for the current in the cable is provided by the conductor. The insulation or dielectric withstands the service voltage and isolates the live conductor with other objects. The sheath does not allow the moistures to enter and protects the cables from all external influences like chemical or electrochemical attacks and fire.

Different uses of Wire and Cable
Use of Wire
- A wire is used to carry electricity, to bear the mechanical loads, to transmit telecommunication signals, for heating jewellery, clothing, automotive or any industrial manufactured parts like pins, bulbs and needles.
Use of Cable
- A cable is used for power transmission, for telecommunication signals or to carry electricity.
Different advantages of using Wire and Cable
Advantages of Wire
- Using solid wire is perfect in case of higher frequencies and it offers low resistance and cost. And the standard wire shows high resistance to the metal.
Advantages of Cable
- Cables are heavy duty, well insulated and have higher strength.
Cables are classified into 5 types depending upon their purpose as follows:
- Ribbon Electric Cables
- Shielded Cables
- Twisted Pair Cables
- Coaxial Cables
- Fibre Optics Cable
Ribbon Electric Cables
Shielded Cables
It consists of 1 or 2 insulated wires which are covered by a woven braided shield or aluminium Mylar foil for better signal transmission and removing irregularities in the frequency of power and external interference in radio. These cables transmit high voltage electric current and are protected by a shield.
Twisted Pair Cables
It has two or more insulated copper wires which are twisted with each other and are colour-coded. These types of wires are usually used in telephone cables and the resistance to external interference can be measured by the number of wires.
Coaxial Cables
This consists of solid copper or steel conductor plated with copper which is enclosed in the metallic braid and metallic tape. This is entirely covered with an insulated protective outer jacket. These types of cables are used for computer networking and audio-video networking.
Fibre Optics Cable
There are these types of cables which transport optical data signals from an attached light source to the receiving device. We are pretty much aware of what is optical fibre and its uses in a wide variety of applications.
There are classified into 5 types of wire depending upon their purpose as follows:
- Triplex Wires
- Non-Metallic Sheathed Wires
- Single Strand Wires
Triplex Wires :
Triplex wires are usually used in single-phase service drop conductors, between the power pole and weather heads. They are composed of two insulated aluminum wires wrapped with a third bare wire which is used as a common neutral. The neutral is usually of a smaller gauge and grounded at both the electric meter and the transformer.
Non-Metallic Sheathed Wires :
Non-metallic sheath wire, is used in most homes and has 2-3 conductors, each with plastic insulation, and a bare ground wire. The individual wires are covered with another layer of non-metallic sheathing. Since it’s relatively cheaper and available in ratings for 15, 20 and 20 amps, this type is preferred for in-house wiring.
Single Strand Wires :
Single strand wire also uses THHN wire, though there are other variants. Each wire is separate and multiple wires can be drawn together through a pipe easily. Single strand wires are the most popular choice for layouts that use pipes to contain wires.
