Cables and Wires Marking System

Thus we need a better system of wiring which can give us not only a continuous supply of electricity but it has to be safe and secured too. That is why we need a better wiring system. And it is very much evident that it is not possible without a better cables and wires marking system.

A better cables and wires system is helpful at its best when we face a problem or two in home wire connection and office too. The electrician would be quick to find out the damaged wire leading to any specific appliance with the help of a better cable and wires marking system.

This helps to sort out a problem related to almost all the cabling products such as coaxial cables, fiber optic cables, twisted pair cables, extension cables etc with much ease. Hence the electrician would be far from from getting confused and will lead to the problem at a quicker speed. All this is possible if we can have have a better cables and wires marking system.

Not only it helps to avoid an electrician to get puzzled and banging his head over the wire or wires leading to the actual problem, it also prevents dangerous electric shocks. With a better cables and wires marking system, we can easily get the right appliance plugged or unplugged without any fear.

The most basic role a marking system plays is that it labels all the wires, cable connectors so one who is there to sort out the problem can easily lead towards the interruption. Thus it helps him/her not to hover around the electrical wire and cable assembly uselessly.

The installation of cables and wires marking system can be done at the any stage of time. Before the wiring or after it. However, it is advisable and tricky to do the same before the formal wiring has been done. It saves a lot of time and money as well.

# Straight cable:This is the simplest type of cable. It consists of copper wires surrounded by an insulator. The wire comes in bundles or as flat "ribbon" cables and is used to connect various peripheral devices over short distances. Cables for internal disk drives are typically flat cables with multiple transmission wires running in parallel.


# Twisted-pair cable: This cable consists of copper-core wires surrounded by an insulator. Two wires are twisted together to form a pair, and the pair forms a balanced circuit (voltages in each pair have the same amplitude but are opposite in phase). The twisting protects against EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference). A typical cable has multiple twisted pairs, each color-coded to differentiate it from other pairs. UTP (unshielded twisted-pair) has been used in the telephone network and is commonly used for data networking in the United States. STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable has a foil shield around the wire pairs in a cable to provide superior immunity to RFI. Traditional twisted-pair LANs use two pairs, one for transmit and one for receive, but newer Gigabit Ethernet networks use four pairs to transmit and receive simultaneously. UTP and STP are constructed of 100-ohm, 24-AWG solid conductors.


# Coaxial cable: This cable consists of a solid copper core surrounded by an insulator, a combination shield and ground wire, and an outer protective jacket. In the early days of LANs, coaxial cable was used for its high bit rates. An Ethernet Thinnet (10Base-2) network has a data rate of 10Mbits/sec and implements a bus topology in which each station is attached to a single strand of cable. Today, hierarchical wiring schemes are considered more practical, and even though more twisted pair wire is required to cable such a network, cost has dropped, making such networks very practical.


# Fiber-optic cable: This cable consists of a center glass core through which light waves propagate. This core is surrounded by a glass cladding that basically reflects the inner light of the core back into the core. A thick plastic outer jacket surrounds this assembly, along with special fibers to add strength. Fiber-optic cable is available with a metal core for strength if the cable will be hung over distances.
