Insulated wire intended for use in windings on motor, transformer and other coils for electromagnetic devices.

A tape laid parallel to the conductors under the jacket in a cable, imprinted with manufacturer's name and/or specification to which the cable is made.

A colored thread laid parallel and adjacent to the strand in an insulated conductor which identifies the manufacturer and sometimes the specification to which the wire is made.

A unit for measuring radiation dosage.

A testing device that applies a dc voltage to a conductor and measures the resistance (in millions of ohms) offered by the conductor’s insulation.

The ratio of stress to strain in an elastic material.

The amount of moisture, in percentage, that a material will absorb under specified conditions.

The ability of a material to resist absorbing moisture from the air or when immersed in water.

Wire which connects to the fragile magnet wire found in coils, transformers and stator or field windings.

More than one conductor within a single cable

Simultaneous transmission of two or more messages over the same cable pair.
