2. Thermoplastic-sheathed cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic-sheathed_cable

   This does not include the uninsulated ground wire. For instance, if the cable lists "12-2 AWG", it means there are two insulated 12-gauge wires (a black and a white wire), plus a ground wire. If the label says "12-3", this cable has four conductors—three 12-gauge insulated wires and a bare copper ground wire. [5]

3. 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 ...

4. Electromagnetic shielding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

   A laptop case with visible copper electromagnetic interference (EMI) coating shield on the inside. Such coatings are usually deposited by using electroless plating. It is applied both to home appliances and medical devices. [1] Typical materials used for electromagnetic shielding include thin layer of metal, sheet metal, metal screen, and metal ...

5. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

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

   Over the K&T era multiple wire types evolved. Early wiring was insulated with cotton cloth and soft rubber, while later wiring was much more robust. Although the actual wire covering may have degraded over the decades, the porcelain standoffs have a nearly unlimited lifespan and will keep any bare wires safely insulated.

6. Copper conductor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_conductor

   An example of a copper alloy conductor is cadmium copper wire, which is used for railroad electrification in North America. [5] In Britain the BPO (later Post Office Telecommunications ) used cadmium copper aerial lines with 1% cadmium for extra strength; for local lines 40 lb/mile (1.3 mm dia) and for toll lines 70 lb/mile (1.7 mm dia).

7. Shielded cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_cable

   Four-conductor shielded cable with metal foil shield and drain wire. Coaxial cable. Electronic symbol for a shielded wire. A shielded cable or screened cable is an electrical cable that has a common conductive layer around its conductors for electromagnetic shielding. [1] This shield is usually covered by an outermost layer of the cable.
