Across
- 2. A type of cable with an inner conductor, insulating layer, metallic shield, and outer insulating layer, used in cable television, internet, and other high-frequency applications.
- 5. A wire made of multiple, smaller wires twisted together, offering greater flexibility compared to solid wire.
- 7. A material that resists the flow of electric current, used to protect conductors and prevent electrical shock, such as rubber or plastic.
- 8. A single, solid strand of metal, often used in applications where rigidity and minimal flexibility are needed.
- 10. Wire covered in a protective insulating layer to prevent contact with other conductors and improve safety.
- 11. A technique used to attach connectors to cables by deforming the metal and connector together, creating a secure, often temporary connection.
- 12. Wires that are not twisted, often susceptible to interference and noise, making them less common in data communication.
- 14. A cable that contains multiple conductors within a single insulation sheath, commonly used in audio, video, and control systems.
- 15. Wire without any insulation, leaving the conductor exposed.
Down
- 1. The process of joining two metal objects by melting and applying a filler metal (solder), used in electronics to create a permanent connection between components.
- 3. A cable that transmits data as light pulses through flexible glass or plastic fibers, offering high-speed data transmission over long distances.
- 4. A material that allows the flow of electric current, typically metals like copper or aluminum due to their high conductivity.
- 6. Two insulated wires twisted together, often used in networking and telecommunication to reduce electromagnetic interference.
- 9. A group of wires or conductors encased together, often with protective insulation, used to transmit electrical power or data signals.
- 13. A single, flexible strand or rod of metal used to carry electricity or signals.
- 16. A common connector type used for Ethernet networking, typically with twisted-pair cables in computer networking.
