In the market, there are more than different types of cables accessible today, manufactured for applications ranging from transportation to heavy industrial use. Some of the most generally used cables include:
Non-Metallic Sheathed Cable
Non-metallic cable is also known as NM cable. They feature a flexible plastic jacket with two to four wires (TECK cables are covered with thermoplastic insulation) and a bare wire for grounding. These cables are also used for underground or exterior use. NM-B and NM-C cables are the most usual form of indoor residential cabling.
Metallic Sheathed Cable:
Metallic sheathed cables are also known as armored or BX cables, are used for large appliances. They feature three plain stranded copper wires. These wire are isolated with cross-linked polyethylene, a black PVC sheathing and PVC bedding. However, these cables with steel wire sheathing are often used for exterior applications and high-stress installations.
Multi-Conductor Cable
Multi-Conductor cable are generally used in homes, since it is easy to use and also well-insulated. These cables feature more than one insulated conductor individually. In these cable, an outer insulation layer supplemented for more insurance. Wide varieties are used in industries, such as snake cable is used in the music industry.
Twin-Lead Cable
These Twin-Lead cables are flat-two wire cables that are used for transmission between an antenna and receiver, like TV and radio.
coaxial cable
These cable features a tubular insulating surface that protects an inner conductor, covered by a tubular conducting shield, and might feature an outer sheath for extra insulation. These cables are called 'coaxial' because of the two inner armor share the same geometric axis; These cables are commonly used for carrying television signals and combining video equipment.
Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable
As the name suggests, this type of cable has two wires that are twisted together. The individual wires that are not insulated, makes this cable right for signal transmission and video applications. Since, as these cables are more affordable than coaxial cable, are often used in telephones, security cameras and data networks..
Ribbon Cable
This cables are used in computers and in it's unit, with various conducting wires that are parallel to each other, leading to a optical comparison to flat ribbons. Ribbon cables are quite malleable and handle low voltage applications.
