Many people don't understand the difference and connection between the four terms of power cord plug, power cord plug, wire plug, and even many people regard these three terms as the same product. Then let's make up the differences between them.
In fact, the power cord plug and plug line are the same, the power line is just a more professional name. Then there is the difference between comparison and cable.
Difference 1: transmission medium
Wire is generally conductive is electrical energy, is the carrier of the use of electrical energy. On the contrary, the cable is to transport electric energy, electromagnetic energy, information, is the conversion of these media wire products. As can be seen from the above, the actual transmission medium of
cable is far more than that of wire.
cable is far more than that of wire.
Difference 2: composition materials
Generally, the wire is composed of one or several relatively soft wires, and the outer layer is covered with a light and soft protective layer; the cable is also composed of one or several insulated wrapped conductors, but the outer protective layer is mainly made of metal or rubber. Their structure is the
same, but the materials are different.
same, but the materials are different.
Difference 3: shape
Generally, the diameter of the wire is relatively small, and the structure is very simple. On the contrary, the diameter of the cable is larger than that of the wire, and the structure is more complex.
Although wires and cables have the above differences, because they were originally used in the transmission of electric energy, they were misled into the same product. Although with the evolution of its use, cable can be applied to more industries, but people still habitually mix the two together. In
particular, the presence of wires in cables in recent years has made the two more mixed,
