Key differences between Single Core & Multicore Cable

A cable is a group of insulated or stranded wires. It can have two or more strands. While a single core cable has only one wire, a multicore cable comes with two or more wires. Both types of wires are used in different electrical gadgets, appliances, and equipment. They cater to multiple requirements at residential or commercial buildings, such as construction sites, malls, offices, homes, organizations and so on.

• Single Core cable

As the name suggests, a single core cable comes with a single conductor. Made of either copper or aluminum, this cable is jacked in a single sheath only made of rubber, PVC or other materials. It is made to be in solid or stranded types and possesses a thicker diameter. This cable is known for durability, rigidity and excellent flexibility.

• Multicore Cable

Also known as double core and Single core cable diagrams, multicore cable is a bundle of different wires to cater to the needs of different power supplies. They are designed in a way to absorb high temperatures. Their outer sheath is made of PVC that enables these cables to prevent them from heating as well as offer mechanical protection to the wires and cables.

Further multicore cable is insulated with either rubber, PVC or other materials. They are designed with more than one conductor in a single cable. Also, these cables are insulated separately within a single cable.
