Cable: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

A cable is two or more wires bound together. May be protected by a sheath which covers all the wires. Cables can also act as carriers for other media, including optical fibers.

The length is sometimes made flexible by spiralling it. In the case of a rigid cable this also makes the cable itself more flexible.

Types of cable

• coaxial cable
• twinax cable
• twisted pair cable
• fiber optic cable
• bowden cable, a type of flexible sheathed cable used to transmit mechanical force.
• wire cable (also known as wire rope)
