Electricity is what made the progress and development of different industries possible. Today, wires and industrial cables of all types are seen in all industries and environments, and it can be said that electricity is the most consumed source of energy in the world, and life without electricity is unthinkable in today's society. In general, the simple task of a power cable is to transfer this energy to different places. This power transfer enables power plants, computer networks and various appliances to function. The use of cables in electrical installations is so important and valuable that every day cable factories supply the market with a new type of cable for a different purpose. Wires and cables are considered to be practical and important equipment and are an integral part of high-power networks and circuits. Wires and cables play a key role in our daily lives and activities. They are everywhere in our lives, from home wiring to MP3 players. These two devices have completely different concepts, but sometimes they can be confused. There are thousands of types of cables, and to understand them accurately, it is necessary to classify the different types of cables. For classification, one should declassify rationale factors and consider the main factors. There are actually eight main factors and their role in creating a classification of things such as voltage class, conductor type and its construction, insulation and coating type, electrical protection type, mechanical protection type, number of wires, type application and standard. 
Typically, wires and cables are used to supply power and transfer power to various parts. One of the most important characteristics of electrical construction equipment is the wires and cables through which the current flows. These products come in different types and are designed and produced in many areas. As previously mentioned, wire and cable are the foundation of construction, so you must be very careful when choosing these products and use wire and cable that are both good electrical conductors and properly insulated. Prevents damage to wires and cable cores and eliminates the risk of power outages. Currently, in the electricity sector, especially the low-voltage industry, a large part of the distribution of electrical energy takes place through wires and cables, which are devices that have conductors to transmit electricity and insulators to prevent leakage, are used around and protected. In some cases, cables are used to transmit medium and high voltage electrical energy. Cables are widely used in electrical installations. In the definition of a cable, it can be said that any type of conductor can pass through it and is insulating, so that the voltage on the insulating surface is zero with respect to the ground and the phase voltage on the surface. The wires are called cables. Cables are like wires. The conductors are usually made of copper or aluminum. 
Different types of wires
The wires can come in different sizes and types of conductors. The terms wire and cable are often used synonymously, but they actually have two different meanings. The wire is a flexible metal wire. A cable is two or more wires or other conductors with a jacket or sheath around them. In industry, wires are used to support loads or transmit power and telecommunication signals. Several strands of steel wire are twisted together called a wire rope. Steel ropes are generally used for lifting and hoisting loads. This article looks at the different types of wires used in electrical wiring, including wiring and telecommunications.
- Solid
Solid wire, also known as solid wire or single strand wire, consists of a single piece of metal wire, usually surrounded by a protective sheath. It is usually used for circuit board wiring. It is cheaper to manufacture than stranded wire. Solid wire is less prone to corrosion because it has less surface area exposed to the environment. Use it when less flexible wiring is required, such as building infrastructure, vehicle control and outdoor applications.
- Fuse
A fuse has a lower resistance that allows normal current to pass safely, but if a short occurs that causes a higher voltage current to pass, the fuse cannot withstand the heat so it will melt and destroy the circuit. This breaker protects other electrical equipment from short circuit currents. Electrical fuses are solid wires made of low melting point alloys. 
- Magnet wire
Enamelled wire, also known as enamelled wire, is a solid wire, usually made of copper, that is insulated with a very thin coating instead of the thicker plastic or other insulation commonly used on wire to make it fit very close. These dense coils are used in applications such as inductors, transformers, motors, electromagnets and loudspeakers
- Stranded
Stranded wire consists of several thin wires bundled or twisted together. Stranded wire is more flexible and more resistant to metal fatigue than solid wire. It is used for short connections in equipment for multiple printed circuits, because the stiffness of solid wire can cause too much stress during assembly or repair. Stranded wire is also used in applications such as AC power cords, musical instrument cables, welding electrode cables, and computer mouse cables.
- Litz wire
Litz wire is a twisted wire used in electronic equipment to transmit alternating current (AC) at radio frequencies. It consists of many thin strands of wire, individually insulated and twisted together, often involved in several layers. Litz wire is used in radio transmitters and receivers operating at low frequencies, induction heating equipment and switching power supplies. The name "litz" comes from the German word "Litzendraht" which means braided/twisted or plaited thread. 
- Tinsel wire
Metallic wire is a type of wire that is more resistant to metal fatigue than solid or other stranded wire. It is used in applications that require high mechanical flexibility but low current-carrying capacity, such as telephone lines, headsets and small appliances. It consists of several strands of thin metal foil wrapped around a soft nylon or textile core. Several wires are usually wrapped with insulation to form a conductor. Several conductors form the wires of a round or flat cable.
- Braided
Braided thread is braided from several small threads. Like stranded wire, braided wire is a better conductor than solid wire. They do not break easily when bent. Braided wire is often used as electromagnetic shielding in noise-reducing cables.
- Wiring harness
Harnesses are bundles of wires or cables that can have many different types of external bundling materials, namely braids, expandable sleeves, military ties, spinal wraps, and cable ties. Wiring harnesses simplify the task of installing and organizing electrical systems. 
Different types of cables
You've probably seen the different sizes and cables of all types used to transport electricity from power plants to our homes. In this article, we will learn more about these cables and their different types. What is a cable? The cables used to transmit and distribute electricity are called power cables. It is used to transmit high voltage where overhead lines are not practical. As previously mentioned, a cable is a set of insulated wires wrapped in a jacket. Typically, a cable has at least one hot wire to carry current, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. Cables are classified according to the number of wires they contain and their size/gauge. Cables are marked with a series of letters followed by a number, a hyphen, and another number. Letters indicate insulation type. The first number represents the resistance of the wires in the cable. The number after the dash indicates the number of individual conductors in the cable. If G follows the last number, the cable is also equipped with a non-current-carrying ground wire. Power cables consist of three main components, conductors, dielectric, and sheaths. The conduction path for the current in the cable is provided by the conductors. Insulation or dielectric that resists operating voltage and isolates current-carrying conductors from other objects. The jacket does not allow the penetration of moisture and protects the cable against all external influences such as chemical or electrochemical attacks and fire. Different types of cables are available everywhere for different applications. The function of the cable depends on the type of cable. The cable is made of aluminum or copper wire, protected by an insulating coating made of synthetic polymer. 
Cables are classified into the following 5 types according to their use:
- Ribbon cable
It consists of several insulated wires parallel to each other that are used to transmit multiple data at the same time. For example, this is used to connect the CPU and motherboard and is generally used for interconnecting network devices.
- Shielded cable
It consists of 1 or 2 insulated wires covered by a braided shield or aluminum layer for better signal transmission and to eliminate power frequency irregularities and external interference in the radio. These cables carry high voltage currents and are protected by a screen.
- Twisted pair cable
It has two or more insulated copper wires twisted around each other and color coded. These types of wires are commonly used in telephone cables, and resistance to external interference can be measured by the number of wires.
- Coaxial cable
It consists of copper-clad solid copper or steel conductors wrapped in metal braid and metal tape. This is completely covered by an insulating protective jacket. These types of cables are used in computer networks and audio-video networks.
- Fiber optic cable
There are these types of cables that carry optical data signals from a connected light source to a receiving device. We know what fiber optics are and how they are used in various applications.
