Cable
![]() A cable is two or more wires bound together which may be bare or covered or insulated. It may be protected by a jacket sheath which protects all. Electrical cables can also act as carriers for other media, including optical fibers. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Cables may be made more flexible by stranding, usually twisting or braiding. Smaller individual wires allows more flexibility. Bunching small wires before concentric stranding adds the most flexibility. A thin coat of tin on the individual wires provides lubrication for longest life. Tight lays during stranding makes the cable extensible (as in telephone handset cords). ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Cables can be securely fastened and organized (e.g. into cable trees) with the aid of cable ties. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Wire: A wire is a single, usually cylindrical, elongated strand of drawn metal. Wires are used to bear mechanical loads and to carry electrical energy and/or communications signals.... Optical fiber: An optical fiber is a transparent thin fiber, usually made of glass or plastic, for transmitting light. Fiber optics is the branch of science and engineering concerned with such optical fibers.... Cable tie: A cable tie (coll. also "strap", "rat belt", "mouse belt", "tie wrap", or "zip tie") is a type of fastener, especially for binding several electronic cables or wires together, and to organize cables and wires....
