You have to check on the sheathing itself but mostly all household wiring is rated for 600 volts. I think you will find that NMS is rated at 300 volts.
NM (Non Metallic) Cable.
The cable is not the problem the protective coating on the cable is. MilSpec cable is very hard to burn the cable, normal cable coatings when burned give off toxic gases depending on what the coating is made of.
A cable terminal is a fixture designed to be installed in the end of a cable or conductor in order to facilitate the connection.
The term core represents each individual conductor within a cable, and a pair is two cores (or two conductors) within a cable. For example if you have a 3 core cable, then the cable has 3 separate conductors in it (3 separate cables within the PVC coating). A 3 pair cable would be 3 sets of 2 cores, so this would have 6 conductors within the cable.
10base5
No, 10Base5 uses coaxial cable (RG-6) with an F connector
Thicknet coax cables are 10base5 cables, RG-8 or RG-6 cables.
Voltage determines a cable's insulation thickness, not its conductor thickness (or, more accurately, its cross-sectional area). It's current that determines the csa of a conductor, not voltage.
A bus topology for a LAN will typically use coaxial cable, either 10Base5 (thicknet) or 10base2 (thin-net) copper wiring.
It depends on the material of the cable (aluminum or copper) and the gauge of the cable. (Thickness). And on the current you intend it to carry.
To measure the thickness of a thin piece of wire we have got the instrument called the wire gauge. The thickness of a thin piece of wire is measured in mm.
American Wire Gauge. Measure the thickness of the cable.
A definition on top of my head, it's the number of frequencies allowed to be carried by the Optical Fiber Cable, It depends on the Ko, thickness and Numerical Aperture of the Fiber Cable.
they e made up of glass which is strewn to around the same thickness as a hair fibre (strand of hair)
Thicknet or 10BASE5 is able to run 500 meters. Thinnet or 10BASE2 is able to run 185 meters. Thinnet cable has a smaller diameter (it is thinner cable) and is more flexible and so easier to work with than thicknet. In the old days you would run a thicknet cable in the ceiling as your network backbone and use vampire taps to attach thinnet cables ("drop cables") that would drop down into rooms in the office where they would connect to hubs. This setup is caled a bus topology. The problem was if that if any piece wasn't properly terminated or is any one cable broke then the whole network went down and you'd have to run around trying to locate the break.
The use of armoured cable is determined by the application that needs an electrical source of voltage. It is a metal sheath cable classification. Armoured cable is used in applications that need mechanical protection usually below a certain elevation. Armoured cable is also usually used on surface wiring. If you have access to an electrical code book there is a whole section on armoured cable. In the CEC the section about armoured cable starts at 12-600 to 12-618.
