2. Copper conductor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_conductor

   All-copper building wiring refers to buildings in which the inside electrical service is carried exclusively over copper wiring. In all-copper homes, copper conductors are used in circuit breaker panels, branch circuit wiring (to outlets, switches, lighting fixtures and the like), and in dedicated branches serving heavy-load appliances (such as ...

3. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

   The first rubber-insulated cables for US building wiring were introduced in 1922 with US patent 1458803, Burley, Harry & Rooney, Henry, "Insulated electric wire", issued 1923-06-12, assigned to Boston Insulated Wire and Cable . These were two or more solid copper electrical wires with rubber insulation, plus woven cotton cloth over each ...

4. Structured cabling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_cabling

   Equipment rooms house equipment and wiring consolidation points that serve the users inside the building or campus. Backbone cabling is the inter-building and intra-building cable connections in structured cabling between entrance facilities, equipment rooms and telecommunications closets. Backbone cabling consists of the transmission media ...

5. Mineral-insulated copper-clad cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral-insulated_copper...

   Mineral-insulated copper-clad cable is a variety of electrical cable made from copper conductors inside a copper sheath, insulated by inorganic magnesium oxide powder. The name is often abbreviated to MICC or MI cable, and colloquially known as pyro (because the original manufacturer and vendor for this product in the UK was a company called ...

6. Power cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_cable

   It has advantages over armored building cable because it is lighter, easier to handle, and its sheathing is easier to work with. [10] Power cables use stranded copper or aluminum conductors, although small power cables may use solid conductors in sizes of up to 1/0. (For a detailed discussion on copper cables, see: Copper wire and cable.). The ...

7. Copper interconnects - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_interconnects

   Copper interconnects are used in integrated circuits to reduce propagation delays and power consumption. Since copper is a better conductor than aluminium, ICs using copper for their interconnects can have interconnects with narrower dimensions, and use less energy to pass electricity through them. Together, these effects lead to ICs with ...
