| Separator |
Pertaining to wire and cable, a layer of insulating material such as textile, paper, mylar, etc., which is placed between a conductor and its dielectric, between a cable jacket and the components it covers, or between various components of a multiple-conductor cable. It can be utilized to improve stripped qualities, roundness, and/or flexibility, or can offer additional mechanical or electrical protection to the components it separates. |
| Shield |
A sheet, screen, or braid of metal, usually copper, aluminum, or other conducting material, placed around or between electric circuits or cables or their components to contain any unwanted radiation, or to keep out any unwanted interference. |
| Spacing |
Distance between the closest edges of two adjacent conductors. |
| Spark Test |
A test designed to locate pin-holes in the insulation of a wire or cable by application of high voltage for a very short period of time while the wire is being drawn through the electrode field. |
| Spiral Wrap |
The helical wrap of a tape over a core. |
| Strand |
A single uninsulated wire. |
| Stranded Conductor |
A conductor composed of groups of
wires twisted together. |
| Tensile Strength |
The pull stress require to break a given specimen. |
| Thermoplastic |
A material that softens when heated and becomes firm on cooling. Example: PVC (plastic). |
| Thermoset |
A material that hardens or sets when heat is applied and that, once set, cannot be resoftened by heating. The application of heat is called "curing." Example: rubber. |
| UL |
Abbreviation for Underwriters Laboratories, a non-profit independent organization that operates a listing service for electrical and electronic materials and equipment. |
| UL 497A |
The UL standard covering the basis for UL listing of surge controls for phone lines. |
| UL 452 |
The UL standard covering the basis for UL listing of CATV lines. |
| Voltage |
The term most often used in place of electromotive force, potential, potential difference, or voltage drop to designate the electrical pressure that exists between two points and is capable of producing a current when a closed circuit is connected between two points. |
| VW-1 |
A flammability rating established by Underwriters Laboratories for wires and cables that pass a specially designed vertical flame test, formerly designated FR-1. Typically used for individual conductors or paralled-type constructions. |
