Wires and cables
An ongoing thread elsewhere is discussing wires and cables, and which is which. To me, the mains flex on a table lamp or the T&E behind the wall are cables, both containing two, three or more wires. Correct? But that introduces flex. Perhaps a cable containing multi strand wires is a flex, not a cable whereas a cable containing single strand wires really is a cable? So a telephone cable really is a cable, as is standard T&E. What about figure of eight profile bell wire? Two multi strand wires, moulded together, a flex, or is flex really only an abbreviation of flexible cable? Non electrical multi strand cables? Are they really hawsers? -- Graeme |
