In our last blog, we breakdown what a Hook-up wire is and described the difference between a single conductor lead wire and a cable with multiple conductors. A lead wire is known as a hook-up wire that serves a wide range of applications, as a single conducting cable. Multi-Conductors on the other hand, are the complete opposite having anywhere from 2 to 50 colour coated insulated conductors.

The NEC (National Electric Code) tray cable definition:
“A factory assembly of two or more insulated conductors, with or without associated bare or covered grounding conductors under a nonmetallic sheath, for installation in cable trays, in raceways, or where supported by a messenger wire.”

Shielding is the most efficient way to stop any kind of physical damage against electrical wires. It’s possible to have a 15-ton truck park on it overnight (wouldn’t that be nice). Although shielding sounds like it may protect from physical abuse, it is quite the opposite.
