Cutaway diagram of a shielded multicore cable with four cores each with three individual conductors. A multicore cable is a type of electrical cable that combines multiple signals or power feeds into a single jacketed cable. [1] The term is normally only used in relation to a cable that has more cores than commonly encountered. [2]
In stage lighting, [1] a multicable (otherwise known as multi-core cable or mult) is a type of heavy-duty electrical cable used in theaters to power lights. The basic construction involves a bundle of individual conductors surrounded by a single outer jacket.
Typical live use of a multicore (thick cable on stage) Multicores usually create a link between the stage and sound desk, or live room and control room.When used in sound reinforcement, the multicore cable runs from the stage box or microphone splitter to the front-of-house sound desk, where it connects to a mixing console.

Category 5e cable A performance standard for unshielded twisted pair cables for telephone and data within a building. Category 6 cable A performance standard for unshielded twisted pair cables for telephone and high speed data within a building. catenary A geometric form of curve, the shape of a uniform cable hanging between two supports.
Electrical cable, an assembly of one or more wires which may be insulated, used for transmission of electrical power or signals Coaxial cable, an electrical cable comprising an inner conductor surrounded by a flexible, tubular insulating layer, coated or surrounded by a tubular conducting shield; Power cable, a cable used to transmit electrical ...
Coaxial cable is a cable consisting of an inner conductor, surrounded by a tubular insulating layer typically made from a flexible material with a high dielectric constant, all of which is then surrounded by another conductive layer (typically of fine woven wire for flexibility, or of a thin metallic foil), and then finally covered again with a ...
Multi-strand cable may refer to: cable with stranded wire, whether single or multi-wire or -core; multi-wire cable, though this somewhat common usage is technically inaccurate multi-core cable, a multi-wire cable whose multiple conductors are arranged around separate cores – this too is technically inaccurate
Beyond this, there are particular cable designs that minimize electromagnetic pickup and transmission. Three of the principal design techniques are shielding, coaxial geometry, and twisted-pair geometry. Shielding makes use of the electrical principle of the Faraday cage. The cable is encased for its entire length in foil or wire mesh.
