Metal conductors in cables serve to conduct electricity, while optical cables use optical fibers to transmit light signals, and optical fibers are thin, flexible media that transmit light beams, forming the core part of optical cables. Let's take a closer look at these. The difference between wire and cable In fact, there is no strict boundary between "wire" and "cable". Generally, the products with a small number of cores, small product diameter and simple structure are called wires, those without insulation are called bare wires, and others are called cables. While the two terms are often used interchangeably in the electrical and communications engineering fields, they refer to different entities with specific. A computer cable is a medium used to transmit data between devices such as computers, servers, routers, and switches. In addition, there are components such as water blocking materials.
