SINGLE & MULTI-CORE CABLES
Single Core Cables are made up of a single conductor covered by a PVC insulation. They are mainly used in power and lighting circuits both domestic and commercial applications. They are also used in the internal wiring of appliances suitable for installation in conduits and trunking. A single core wire is a cylindrical strand of metal. In single core wire there is only a single core of metal is present, mostly copper or aluminium. These wires are available in different thickness and gauges.A Multicore Cable is a type of electrical cable that combines multiple signals or power feeds into a single jacketed cable. The term is normallyused in relation to a cable that has more cores than commonly encountered. Not all cables with multiple insulated conductors arecalled multicore cables – the core in multicore refers to the number of usable connections made not the number of conductors or wires. In most of cases, a "usable connection" requires multiple conductors such as the positive and negative conductors used for DC power.
