Electronic wire is a conductor (usually copper or tinned copper) insulated with materials like PVC, Teflon (PTFE), or silicone. It's used in internal wiring of electronic devices, signal transmission, and low-power circuits.
Common Types of Electronic Wire
| Type | Description | Common Uses |
| Hook-up Wire | Single-conductor, insulated | Internal wiring of devices |
| Ribbon Cable | Flat cable with parallel wires | Computers, printers, control panels |
| Coaxial Cable | Shielded for high-frequency signals | RF transmission, antennas |
| Twisted Pair | Two wires twisted to reduce interference | Data and signal transmission |
