Wire, cable, and cordsets are products that carry electrical current from a power source to devices and equipment. Wire is characterized by a solid or stranded conductor protected by insulation and/or a jacket. Cable consists of one or more conductors wrapped in a sheath. The sheath binds the inner wires together, and its outer markings indicate the number of wires and size, or gauge (AWG), of wire within the sheathing. The lower the gauge, the thicker the wire, and the greater its capacity for electrical current. The color of the sheathing indicates recommended usages. Cordsets are cables with connectors that plug into compatible outlets to supply power to equipment and enable communication between devices. Wire, cable, and cordsets are used in a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
