Multiple conductor cables, such as those in the 155210003 application field, are those cables which use more than one conductive strand - typically two or three - in order to establish electrical continuity across a medium. These cables are incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications including audio-visual equipment, telecommunications, power supply objects, and medical devices. These cables are designed to reduce losses and maintain its functionality, even when exposed to extreme levels of heat or cold.

The working principle of a multiple conductor cable is quite simple. The conductors within the cable carry electrical current from one side of the connection to the other, passing it through an insulation material such as rubber, plastic, or metal foil to protect it from short-circuiting or other forms of electrical damage. Depending on the application, the multiple conductors can be held together using a banding material to keep the connection secure, and to reduce torsional effects which can be damaging to the cable\'s function. Additionally, a braided or woven shield can be used to keep harmonic interference from disrupting the signal.

The conductors in these cables are made from a variety of materials, including copper, silver, aluminum, and even gold. Copper is the most commonly used material due to its low cost and high conductivity. Copper can also be found in a number of alloys to improve durability and electrical properties. Silver has a higher electrical conductivity than copper and can offer superior performance. Aluminum is used in some cables due to its low cost and weight, but it can be susceptible to corrosion, and is often used alongside a protective coating. Gold is used in specialized cables due to its extremely high electrical conductivity, but it is also very costly and not very commonly used.

The insulation material used in a multiple conductor cable must be chosen carefully to ensure that the cable can withstand the environmental conditions it will be exposed to. Common insulation materials used in cables are polyethylene, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), FEP, and PVC. Each of these materials provides different levels of electrical insulation, and must be chosen according to the specific requirements of the application. For example, PVC has good resistance to oil and water, but its low temperature can cause it to become brittle and lose its effectiveness when exposed to extreme temperatures.

Multiple conductor cables are designed to provide durable and reliable performance even under the harshest environmental conditions. These cables can be used in a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial automation. By strategically selecting the proper materials for the conductors, insulation, and coatings, cables can be customized to meet most any requirements or specifications. Multiple conductor cables are an essential component in establishing an efficient and reliable network.
