An electrical cable is an assembly of one or more wires running side by side or bundled, which is used to carry electric current. A cable assembly is the composition of one or more electrical cables and their corresponding connectors.

What is stranded conductor What are the benefits of stranded conductor over regular conductor?

Stranded cables are much more flexible and can withstand more bending compared to rigid solid conductors that can break if flexed too many times. However, when it comes to terminating stranded cable, the individual strands of the conductors can break or become loose over time.

What is stranded conductor means?

Stranded conductors are composed of uninsulated “strands” of wire twisted together. The advantages of conductor stranding over a single strand of equal cross-section are increased flexibility and flex-fatigue life.
