Electrical Cable Types

I am looking for electrical cables for my newly constructed house. What are the most common types of electrical cables available?

Electrical cables, also called power cables, are used to connect two or more devices which enable the transfer of electrical signals or power from one device to the other. They provide connection and allow power stations, wired computer networks, televisions and telephones to work. There are different types of electrical cables that vary in configuration, size and performance.

The following are some of the most common types of electrical cables:

·         Coaxial cable

·         Ribbon cable

·         Twisted pair cable

·         Shielded cable
