In people’s daily life, wires and cables seem to be similar terms, but there are a series of surprising differences behind them. These differences are not only different in function, but also play a key role in the recycling of waste cables. All wires and cables contain copper, making them valuable recycled materials.
1. Differences in functions and uses:
Wire: A wire usually refers to a single piece of electrically conductive material used to transmit electrical energy, such as the power cords that connect outlets and switches in a home. They are usually simple and connect directly to power sources and appliances.
Cable: Cable is a composite electrical component composed of multiple strands of insulated wires. In contrast, cables are more flexible and versatile, and are widely used in construction, communications, electricity and other fields, with the function of transmitting power, data and signals.
2. Differences in structure and structure:
Wire: Wire is a relatively simple structure consisting of conductors and insulation. Common types of wires include single-core wires and multi-core wires.
Cable: The cable structure is more complex, including multiple insulated wires, fillers, sheaths and other layers. This complex structure gives the cable greater transmission capabilities and durability.
