Wire and cables are the term commonly used in electrical and communication fields. However, people often feel confused about these two terms, but they are actually completely different. In this article, we will briefly explain the difference between the wire and the cable.
Basic differences between the wires and cables
The basic key difference between the wires and the cable is that the wire is a single conductor, and the cable is a set of conductors. Although these conductors are made of ordinary materials or aluminum. Usually, the wires are exposed and distorted. However, some wires are coated with thin PVC layers. If there are cables, they will constitute feasibility and distort or stick together to form a single situation. For safety purposes, create internal and outer sheaths.
Wire
Measure the wire by diameter. According to the diameter of the wire, measurement will be measured through the regulations. The smaller the quantity, the thicker the wire. The perfect amount used in residential applications is 10 & 20.
Cable
The cable contains a hotline carrying current, neutral lines to complete the ring and ground wire. The total number of wires composed of cables and its instrumentation is classified.
Different uses of wires and cables
Use wire
The wire is used to carry electricity and bear mechanical loads to transmit telecommunications signals for heating jewelry, clothing, cars or any industrial manufacturing parts, such as nails, bulbs and needles.
Use cable
Cables are used for power transmission, telecommunications signals or carrying electricity.
Different advantages of using wires and cables
The advantage of the wire
In the case of higher frequencies, the use of solid wires is perfect and has low resistance and cost. The standard line shows high resistance to metal.
Advantages of cables
The cable is heavy, with insulation and higher strength.
