Wires and cables are wire products used to transmit electrical energy, information, and realize electromagnetic energy conversion. They are like "lifelines", transmitting the electricity generated by power plants to thousands of households, allowing electrical equipment to operate; they are also like "highways" of information, allowing telephone and network signals to be transmitted quickly, allowing us to be closely connected with the world.
In daily life, people often confuse "wires" and "cables", but in fact there is no very strict boundary between them. Generally speaking, products with a small number of cores, small product diameters, and simple structures are called wires, such as the single-core or double-core wires commonly used in our homes to connect lamps and sockets; those without insulation are called bare wires, which are mostly used in some special industrial scenes or outdoor overhead lines; and other more complex ones are classified as cables, such as those with multi-core, multi-layer insulation and sheaths, which are used for power supply to large buildings and underground power transmission in cities. Conductors with larger cross-sectional areas (greater than 6 square millimeters) are often called large wires, while those with smaller cross-sectional areas (less than or equal to 6 square millimeters) are small wires, and insulated wires are also called cloth wires.
