2. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

   An electrical conduit is a tube used to protect and route electrical wiring in a building or structure. Electrical conduit may be made of metal, plastic, fiber, or fired clay. Most conduit is rigid, but flexible conduit is used for some purposes. Conduit is generally installed by electricians at the site of installation of electrical equipment.

3. Cable gland - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_gland

   Shrouded cable glands going into a flow meter. Split cable gland KVT for routing pre-terminated cables. A cable gland (more often known in the U.S. as a cord grip, cable strain relief, cable connector or cable fitting) is a device designed to attach and secure the end of an electrical cable to the equipment.

4. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_North...

   When running through conduit, such as in commercial applications, it is typical to pull individual wires rather than a preassembled cable. Wire is manufactured in a range of conductor sizes, stranding, and materials (copper or aluminum), [15] but the term "wire type" usually refers to the insulation, which determines the environments in which ...

5. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

   The conduit methods were known to be of better quality, but cost significantly more than K&T. [2] In 1909, flexible armored cable cost about twice as much as K&T, and conduit cost about three times the price of K&T. [6] Knob and tube wiring persisted since it allowed owners to wire a building for electricity at lower cost.

6. Push–pull connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push–pull_connector

   The push–pull connector is a type of cable interconnect that provides a strong locking mechanism that is only released by squeezing the connector body, thus preventing accidental disconnects. The connector is cylindrical, enabling a wide range of body styles and configurations such as low or high voltage multipin, coaxial, triaxial, fluid and ...

7. Electrical connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_connector

   The movable (less fixed) connector is classified as a plug (denoted P), [37] designed to attach to a wire, cable or removable electrical assembly. [38] This convention is currently defined in ASME Y14.44-2008, which supersedes IEEE 200-1975 , which in turn derives from the long-withdrawn MIL-STD-16 (from the 1950s), highlighting the heritage of ...
