ELECTRIC CABLE:
Electric cable assemblies are designed to create a specific length of strong, thick wire, capable of resisting water absorption. The manufacturing process typically involves laying multiple wires in a clockwise direction, followed by an anti-clockwise direction, and then shackling them together.
The primary function of electric cables is to connect two or more devices to transfer power or electrical signals. Due to their versatility, these cables are used for various purposes, and each cable must be specifically designed for its intended use.
In building construction, electric cables are crucial for wiring lighting and power supply systems. These cables may contain one or more conductors, each with its own insulation and screens, along with individual coverings and assembly protection. The overall cable assembly is also protected by external coverings. To ensure flexibility, the inner wires are often stranded, which allows the cable to bend and flex without breaking.
