What’s Inside a Cable? A Quick Look at the Layers

Ever wonder what makes a high-quality cable stand out from the rest? Let’s break it down.

  • Conductor – Usually copper or aluminum, it’s the path for your signal or power.
  • Insulation – Protects the conductor and ensures signal clarity.
  • Shielding – Reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Sheath – The outer layer that protects from physical damage, water, or chemicals.

Each component has a direct impact on your system’s performance and safety.
