Multiple Conductor Cables

Multiple Conductor Cables are electrical cables constructed of multiple conductors of the same or varying lengths which are bound together to form a single cable. These cables are most commonly used in the industrial sectors. They are used to transmit electric power from one location to another and are generally made from either stranded or solid conductors depending on application needs. When compared to single conductor cables, they are much more efficient in transferring the electric power over a longer distance and they have an increased amount of current carrying capacity.

Multiple Conductor Cables are typically divided into five types: Non-Shielded Twisted Pair (NSTP), Shielded twisted pair (STP), Shielded Triaxial, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and Shielded coaxial. Each of these cable types offer different features and advantages depending on the specific application they are used for. The type of multiple conductor cable used in a particular application should be determined based on the application requirements and the electric current carrying capacity of the cable.

The most commonly used type of multiple conductor cable is the Non-shielded Twisted Pair (NSTP). This type of cable is formed by twisting individual wires together forming a twisted pair. This type of cable is used in applications that require a reliable signal or transmission of power over a great distance. They are typically used in telecommunication applications, such as LAN Ethernet networks and video transmissions. The twisted pair configuration enables the cable to reject interference from external sources, thus increasing signal integrity and transmission reliability.

The next type of multiple conductor cable is the Shielded Twisted Pair (STP). This type of cable is shielded by a thin layer of foil and it has two pairs of twisted wires. This type of cable provides excellent protection against both internal and external noise. Additionally, it helps reduce electrical interference and crosstalk which can potentially disrupt a signal transmission. STP cables are typically used for high-speed data transmissions such as in data centers, military facilities, surveillance systems, and in CAN bus systems.

The third type of multiple conductor cable is the Shielded Triaxial cable. This type of cable consists of three insulated conductors in a twisted configuration. It is used for providing reliable signal transmission over a long distance. Shielded triaxial cables are often used in the automotive industry for in-vehicle communications and for audio/video applications. The twisted configuration helps in reducing interference and crosstalk as the three conductors act like a shield.

The fourth type of multiple conductor cable is the Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP). This type of cable is made up of two insulated conductors in a twisted configuration. The UTP cables are used in applications that require reliable signal transmission over shorter distances compared to other types of multiple conductor cables. In addition, they are also used in applications where there is potential for external interference. UTP cables are usually used in Ethernet networks, home theater systems and digital audio/video applications.

The last type of multiple conductor cable is the Shielded Coaxial. This type of cable consists of a single solid conductor surrounded by a flexible metallic sheath. Shielded coaxial cables provide the highest level of protection against interference and crosstalk compared to all other types of multiple conductor cables. This type of cable is commonly used in applications where speed, reliability and noise immunity are important, such as in television and radio broadcasting. Additionally, the shielding capability of the cable provides the highest level of protection against external sources of interference.

In conclusion, multiple conductor cables are widely used in various industrial applications. They are classified based on the types of shielding that they provide. The type of cable used in an application depends on the application requirements and the current carrying capacity that the cable provides. Each of the five types of multiple conductor cables offer different features and advantages that should be considered when selecting the appropriate cable for an application.
