You forgot ribbon cables :-)


Probably time to shoot myself :-)


Litz wire has been mentioned, but has anyone mentioned tinsel wire?

And our neighbour across the Atlantic calls flexes "cords".

Standard (ie. British) Wire Guage seems to have been usurped by
cross-sectional area in mm, or even AWG, Are the Chinese to blame for
that?
