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.
Cross-section through a coaxial cable showing shielding and other layers. One example is a shielded cable, which has electromagnetic shielding in the form of a wire mesh surrounding an inner core conductor. The shielding impedes the escape of any signal from the core conductor, and also prevents signals from being added to the core conductor.
An 8P8C modular plug. This is the common crimp-type plug, of the same kind pictured above crimped onto a cable (with molded sleeve). A modular connector is a type of electrical connector for cords and cables of electronic devices and appliances, such as in computer networking, telecommunication equipment, and audio headsets.
Multicore cables are used with professional video cameras. In television studios, 26-pin cables are used to connect cameras to camera control units. In computer networking, multi-pair unshielded twisted pair cables are available, which contain more than four pairs (the number of pairs in a normal Ethernet cable).
Coaxial cable is a type of transmission line, used to carry high-frequency electrical signals with low losses. It is used in such applications as telephone trunk lines, broadband internet networking cables, high-speed computer data busses, cable television signals, and connecting radio transmitters and receivers to their antennas.
Power cable – A cable used for transmission of power; Ribbon cable – Useful when many wires are required. This type of cable can easily flex, and it is designed to handle low-level voltages. Shielded cable – Used for sensitive electronic circuits or to provide protection in high-voltage applications.

A patch cable, patch cord or patch lead is an electrical or fiber-optic cable used to connect ("patch in") one electronic or optical device to another for signal routing. Devices of different types (e.g., a switch connected to a computer, or a switch to a router) are connected with patch cords.
