CABLE
CABLE Most often refers to two or more wires running parallel and bonded, twisted, or braided together to form a single assembly. In mechanics cables are known as wire ropes, are used for conveying force through tension. In electrical engineering cables are used to carry electric currents. In telecommunication an optical cable used for data transmission.
Cable Construction Based on construction and cable properties, they can be sorted into the following:
Coaxial cable Twinax cable
Mineral-insulated copper-clad cable
Bowden cable
Multicore cable (consist of more than one wire and is covered by cable jacket)
Twisted pair
Non-metallic sheathed cable (or non-metallic building wire, NM, NM-B) Metallic sheathed cable (or armoured cable, AC, or BX) Single cable Special Construction Arresting cable Direct-buried cable Elevator cable
Constructional materials for polymer insulated cables
Designation It includes Abbreviated description of the cable design and its component materials Number of cores by nominal cross-sectional area of conductor (mm2) Indications of shape and type of conductor Rated Voltage (kV) Voltage designation Additional symbols for cables
Cable Design Current carrying capacity and selection of cross sectional area Electrical stress and Insulation Thickness Dielectric Properties Compound Design
Manufacturing Process Conductor forming includes drawing and annealing of wires, coating (tinning and plating) of wires Insulating and sheathing (consists of mixing/compounding, extrusion and curing) Assembling including laying up of cores, taping, braiding and armoring

Testing The Insulated Cable Engineers Association (ICEA) develops cable standards for the electric power, control and telecommunications industries which includes Characteristics of insulated cable Physical and electrical properties of conductors used in overhead lines Cable tray flame tests Communications wire cabling Telecommunications cable Partial discharge test procedures AC/DC resistance ratios Fiber optics Telephone cordage
Special Purpose Elastomeric Cables
Fire Survival Cables Silicone rubber insulated cables Mica/glass and EPR insulated cables Radiation Resistant Cables
