Wires & Cables – the inseparable and indispensable product for each home

Wires and cables are some of the critical products of the electrical industry. These products play an indispensable role in the smooth functioning of the electrical goods in our household. Though we may not realize it, most basic things, like electric bulbs, televisions, fans, ACs, inverters, phones, laptops, etc., will not function without wires and cables. These conduits are lifelines, and our lives will come to a standstill without the support of wires and cables.

It is essential to choose the most reliable wires and cable brands while buying these items to ensure 100% safety against short circuits and voltage fluctuations. You may shop online or offline as per your comfort from the best manufacturer to give your household the trust of security. Some popular wire and cable brands, like Havells, Polycab, Finolex, and EON, offer wide options for wires and cables online and offline.

Guide to choosing the best Wires and Cables for your home

Your home is a cherished space where you and your loved ones flourish. It is of paramount importance that you safeguard your home from potential hazards. It is a place that has to be the most safe and secure in terms of everything including electrical equipment like wires, cables, etc. Hence, it is of prime importance to take note of the below points while shopping for wires and cables used for your home electrical usage:

  • - Check for the conducting material’s quality: Aluminium and Copper are the two kinds of materials that are commonly used for conducting wires. However, the best conductor is said to be an electrolytic green copper. Look for the best manufacturer using the best conducting material for wires and cables.
  • - Check for insulation: Insulation is considered an important factor as it makes the wires and cables safe for installation. It is good to use polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material of flame-retardant grade for insulation.
  • - Flexibility is another factor to consider: There are several flexible conductor wires available easily in the market. Flexible conductors are better as they have a higher number of annealed conductors as compared to solid wires, which offer good flexibility.
  • - Reliability of manufacturers and sellers: Besides checking the quality of the wires and cables, it is equally important to consider the credibility standards of the manufacturer and seller. Since the market is flooded with several manufacturers, it is better to choose the one to suit your needs as per quality standards.
  • - Purchase branded wires and cables: When buying electrical goods like wires and cables, it is vital to check for the best quality and durability. The popular brands available in the market are good to trust as they have years of experience in the field and offer the best products you can rely on. At IBO, we understand the safety needs of our customers and offer the best products from the best brands such as Polycab and Finolex wires and cables, etc., to meet customer satisfaction.

Types of Electrical Wires

  • - Fibre Optic Cable: The fibre optic cables have higher bandwidth as compared to metal conductors and they conduct signals via a cluster of glass threads. Hence, these cables are used to carry more data or information. That is why they are used instead of the traditional copper cables.
  • - Twisted Pair Cable: This type of cable is made with two cables twisted together. These cables are usually used in the field of telecommunication and data communication. They are used to avoid noise created by magnetic coupling.
  • - Coaxial Cable: This type of cable consists of an inner conductor that is encircled by an outer foil conductor parallelly. The outer conductor is shielded by layers of insulation. The two conductors are separated in the cable by an insulating dielectric. They are usually used for television cables because of their enhanced performance.
  • - Multi-conductor Cable: As the name suggests, the multi-conductor cable has two or more conductors that are insulated. The purpose of this cable is to safeguard the integrity signal. This cable is known as a balanced line configuration cable.

The Importance of Wire Colors

The different colours of wires are not because of any style; rather they are designed to serve different purposes. It is thus important to know the proper coding of the wires to use them for different electrical purposes. Actually, the colour coating in wires serves as an insulation that safeguards people against electric shocks.

For instance, blue and yellow wires are used to carry current and are used as live wires. Yellow wires are also used for appliances such as fans, light bulbs, etc. Green wires on the other hand are used for grounding purposes, while black wires are mostly used as power feeds for switches and vents.
