2. Modular connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_connector

   The sharp prongs are different in the connectors made for each type of wire, and a mismatch between plug type and wire type results in unreliable connections. A modular plug for solid (single-strand) wire often has three slightly splayed prongs on each contact to securely surround and grip the conductor while scraping along the outside, and a ...

3. Twist-on wire connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist-on_wire_connector

   A connector more closely resembling the present-day twist-on type was patented in Canada by Marr in 1931, and in the US in 1933. "Wire Connector", Canadian Patent CA 311638 Issued 26 May 1931. "Wire Connecter" U.S. patent 1,896,322, Filed November 24, 1930, Patented February 7, 1933

   Pin 1 is typically indicated on the body of the connector by a red or raised "V" mark. The corresponding wire in a ribbon cable is usually indicated by red coloration, a raised molded ridge, or markings printed onto the cable insulation. On the connector pin 2 is opposite pin 1, pin 3 is next to pin 1 along the length of the connector, and so ...

   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is currently defined in ASME Y14.44-2008, which supersedes IEEE 200-1975 , which in turn derives from the long-withdrawn MIL-STD-16 (from the 1950s), highlighting the heritage of ...

6. Twisted pair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair

   Stranded cable uses multiple wires wrapped around each other in each conductor and in a four-pair with seven strands per conductor cable, there would be a total of 56 wires (2 per pair × 4 pairs × 7 strands). [18] Solid core cable is intended for permanently installed runs (permanent link). It is less flexible than stranded cable and is more ...

   The neutral wire is identified by gray or white insulated wire, perhaps using stripes or markings. With lamp cord wire the ribbed wire is the neutral, and the smooth wire is the hot. NEC 2008 400.22(f) allows surface marking with ridged, grooves or white stripes on the surface of lamp cord.
