Cable vs Wire – What’s the Difference?
Many people use the terms wire and cable interchangeably—but they’re not the same!
Wire: A single conductor, either solid or stranded, usually made of copper or aluminum.
Cable: A group of two or more insulated wires bundled together, often with protective sheathing.
In short:
Wire is a single path. Cable is a team of wires!
Choosing the right type depends on the application—whether it's residential wiring, industrial panels, or underground installations.
