2. Heat-shrink tubing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-shrink_tubing

   Animation of heat-shrink tubing, before and after shrinking. Heat-shrink tubing (or, commonly, heat shrink or heatshrink) is a shrinkable plastic tube used to insulate wires, providing abrasion resistance and environmental protection for stranded and solid wire conductors, connections, joints and terminals in electrical wiring.

3. Cold shrink tubing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_shrink_tubing

   The following video demonstrates the installation process of using Cold Shrink to abandon power cables. Cold shrink tubing is used to insulate wires, connections, joints and terminals in electrical work. It can also be used to repair wires, bundle wires together, and to protect wires or small parts from minor abrasion. It needs storage in ...

4. Electrical tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_tape

   Electrical tape #27. Today, electrical tape is simply "another form of insulation". [4] The original electrical insulating tape was made of cloth tape impregnated with Chatterton's compound, an adhesive material manufactured using gutta-percha. This type of tape was often used to insulate soldered splices on knob and tube wiring. It was ...

5. Self-amalgamating tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-amalgamating_tape

   This tape is used extensively in aviation and aerospace wiring applications as a splice or wrapping tape due to its non-flammability. [citation needed] It can be used for emergency repair of leaking low-pressure hoses and pipes. Compared to most other electrical and utility tapes, centerline tape is not particularly tough mechanically.

6. Shrink wrap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrink_wrap

   Heat-shrink tubing is used to seal electric wiring. Shrink bands are applied over parts of packages for tamper resistance or labels. It can be used as a Tamper-evident band. It can also combine two packages or parts into a Multi-pack. Shrink wrap is also commonly used within more industrial applications using a heavier weight shrink film.

7. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

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

   Compared to modern electrical wiring standards, these are the main technical shortcomings of knob-and-tube wiring methods: never included a safety grounding conductor did not confine switching to the hot conductor (the so-called Carter system prohibited as of 1923 places electrical loads across the common terminals of a three-way switch pair)
