Course 4: Specialized Cables

Introduction

The term "cable" refers to a physical apparatus that is used to carry an electrical or communication signal from one device to another; although this basic function is identical among all cables, cables are often defined based on several other characteristics that distinguish them from one another.

For example:

The main function of the cable (e.g. "video cable, audio cable, KVM Cable)
The conductive material used inside the cable to carry the signal (e.g. copper, aluminum etc.)
The type of jacket material used to bundle the internal wire(s) that are used to carry the necessary signal
The type of insulation used within the cable
The manner in which the conductive material is arranged within the jacket
