  2. Aluminum building wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_building_wiring

    Since copper costs about four times as much as aluminum by weight (roughly US$4 /lb [5] vs. US$1 /lb [6] as of 2024), aluminum wires are one-eighth the cost of copper wire of the same conductivity.

    A grounded wire is sometimes strung along the tops of the towers to provide lightning protection. An optical ground wire is a more advanced version with embedded optical fibers for communication. Overhead wire markers can be mounted on the ground wire to meet International Civil Aviation Organization recommendations. [6]

  4. Category 6 cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable

    A Cat 6 patch cable, terminated with 8P8C modular connectors. Category 6 cable (Cat 6) is a standardized twisted pair cable for Ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. Cat 6 must meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than Cat 5 and ...

    (E.g. 1 mm diameter wire is ~18 AWG, 2 mm diameter wire is ~12 AWG, and 4 mm diameter wire is ~6 AWG). This quadruples the cross-sectional area and conductance. A decrease of ten gauge numbers (E.g. from 12 AWG to 2 AWG) multiplies the area and weight by approximately 10, and reduces the electrical resistance (and increases the conductance ) by ...

    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 ...

    In both those instances the white wire should be identified as being hot, usually with black tape inside junction boxes. 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 ...
