Different Types of Electrical Wires and Cables: Student Name

The document discusses different types of electrical wires and cables. It describes coaxial cable which has a central conductor surrounded by insulating plastic and a metallic shield. It also describes twisted pair cables which can be unshielded or shielded. Fiber optic cables can be single mode or multi-mode. Duplex, triplex, and quadruplex cables have two, three, or four insulated conductors respectively. Direct-buried and non-metallic sheathed cables are also discussed. Non-metallic sheathed wires have two or more insulated conductors within plastic sheathing. Single conductor and main feeder wires are also summarized.

TYPES OF CABLES
Coaxial Cable

The central part of coaxial cable is a conductor covered by an insulating plastic
layer which is surrounded by a metallic shield.
Twisted Pair Cable
They are further divided into two types based on their noise protection

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable

Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable


Fiber Optic Cables
The fiber optics cable is classified into two main types;
1} Single Mode or Mono-mode Fiber Optics Cable

Multi-Mode Fiber Optics Cable:


.
Duplex Cable:
The duplex service drop cable is a two core conductor i.e. it has two
conductors; an insulated conductor for phase line and a bare conductor for
neutral line

Triplex Cable:
The Triplex service drop cable is a three core conductor. It has two insulated
conductors for phase line and a bare conductor for neutral line.
Quadruplex Cable:
The Quadruplex service drop cable is a quad or four core conductors.

Direct-Buried Cable (DBC)


It is a type of cable used for communication and power transmission
Non-Metallic Sheathed Cable (NM, NM-B)

There are two types of NM sheathed cable based on number of conductors

Two wires NM sheathed cable:

Three wires NM sheathed cable:


TYPES OF WIRES

Non-Metallic Sheathed Wires:
The non-metallic or NM sheathed wires are used for in-house wiring. It
may consist of 2 or more than 2 insulated conductors with an insulated or bare
ground conductor. There is another layer of plastic XLPE sheathing for more
protection. The latest version NM type-B is currently used by electricians for
interior installation.
Single conductor wire :
Single Conductor wire is the most popular choice for electrical layout
inside a home. It is available in multiple gauges, color (for phase, neutral
and ground identification) and solid or stranded conductors. A single
solid wire provides better connections but single stranded wires are easier
to route through conduits.
Main Feeder Wires:
The main feeder cables & wires supply the power from the service
weatherhead to the building. The cables used for this purpose are 600v
THHN, solid or stranded with the rating of 25% more than the maximum
required load.

Panel Feed Wires:


The panel feed wires supply power to the main distribution junction box. It
is usually black insulted THHN cables with rating of 25% more than
maximum load current
