How much do you know about cables? A comprehensive understanding of cable!
Cables are an important part of our daily lives that are often overlooked. From charging our devices to powering our homes, these seemingly simple products play a vital role in keeping the modern world connected. However, understanding the basics of cable is crucial to choosing the right product for our specific needs. So, how much do you know about cables ? This article has compiled the basic knowledge of cables for you.
1. The function of cables:
Cables generally play the role of conduction, information transmission and connection.
2. The structure of cables:
(1) Outer sheath: Provides protection and is commonly made of PVC and PP materials. It is divided into serrated, smooth, frosted and semi-frosted, with sleeve type, filled type and SR type.
(2) Braiding: Shielding is divided into braiding and winding, mainly for anti-interference, especially for electromagnetic interference.
(3) Ground wire: Connect the power supply so that the braid and aluminum foil come into contact.
3.1 Copper wire: Made of a mixture of copper and gold, measured in AWG, the smaller the AWG number, the larger the OD.
3.2 Core wire: plays the role of connection, conduction, and information transmission.
3.3 Aluminum foil: anti-interference function.
3.4 PP paper: protection and insulation functions.
3. The classification of cables:
(1) According to copper wire specifications:

(2) According to the specifications of the wire: braided and non-braided
Braided cable : The inner core wire is usually the focusing wire
Not braided cable: The inner core is usually a single thread
(3) By nature: single core wire, twisted wire, coaxial line
