A conductor not covered with insulating material. Baud Unit of data transmission speed. One Baud is one bit per second. Binder Spirally served tape or thread used for holding assembled cable components in place.

Woven bare metallic or tinned copper wire used as shielding for wires and cables.

A measure of ability of a wire, wire covering or material to resist surface wear or damage by mechanical means.

Test of insulation to measure its compliance with temperature ratings.

An electric current that continually reverses its direction giving a definite plus and minus wave form at fixed intervals.

The unit expressing the rate of flow of an electrical current.

A cable having two conductors which carry voltages opposite in polarity but equal in magnitude with respect to ground.

Amount of adhesion between bonded surfaces.

The angle between the axis of the cable and axis of the braid.

The number of wires used on one carrier on a braider. Breakdown Voltage The voltage at which the insulation between two conductors will break down or arc over.
