How to recognize the difference between cables and wires, optical cables, and optical fibers

2020-05-22


In fact, there is no strict boundary between "wires" and "cables". Products with fewer cores, smaller product diameters, and simpler structures are usually referred to as wires, those without insulation are referred to as bare wires, and others are referred to as cables; The conductor with a large cross-sectional area (more than 6 square millimetre) is called a large wire, the smaller one (less than or equal to 6 square millimetre) is called a small wire, and the insulated wire is also called a wiring wire.
  
A wire is composed of one or several flexible wires, wrapped in a light and soft protective layer; A cable is composed of one or several insulated wires wrapped in a tough outer layer of metal or rubber. Cables and wires are generally composed of three components: core wire, insulation sheath, and protective sheath.
