How to distinguish electrical wire from cable?



A high degree of electrification involves the use of many different devices and different conductors for current to properly operate the network. Mainly conductive elements are wires and cables. Both products are important in one way or another. Electricians know the differences between these two conductors by eye. The average person needs to know what the differences are between these elements. Especially when it is planned to replace the wiring with a new one. In this case, it is better to choose Italian cable from proven brands from the official point of sale.

What is an electric wire?

This conductive current product of the master is also called electric wire. A conventional standard wire may consist of one or more rods. These veins in the middle of the wire can be isolated from one another or without insulation. In any case, the presence of isolation does not divide the veins. The simplest models of wires are uninsulated. In fact, they are very dangerous for use near people, so they are usually used for overhead lines. Those wires that are insulated have a wider range of uses. They are divided into:

  • Installation for electrical appliances. They are usually copper and have a polyethylene winding.
  • The windings are for electric motors. More copper. These are products in paper or enamel insulation.
  • Installation - for branching electrical wiring. They are made of copper or aluminum and are in high-quality insulation.

The market is full of offers of various products, but experts note the wire from Specialcavi Baldassari as an example of quality and durability.



Types of cables

The cable products available in the assortment of modern stores are divided by flexibility, presence and type of insulation, number of veins, material of manufacture, type of upcoming connection. Cable always has a much wider range of applications. It is more convenient, since with the help of one such conductor you can distribute the current to several consumers. There are cables:

  • forceful;
  • telephone;
  • informational;
  • Special.

A significant priority of the cable is that it can be easily used both underground and underwater.



These and other types of electrification products are presented by Ital-Tecno in its online store. In addition, the company's specialists provide comprehensive advice and assistance in the selection of the necessary varieties of goods.
