The word twisted refers to the wires literally being twisted together. Our twisted pair is the only twisted wire we carry. All of our wire is braided.<br /><br />Both cotton and silk were used early in the 20th century to cover wire. Today we sill use cotton but now use rayon instead of silk.<br /><br />The only reason to choose a cotton or rayon covering is whether you want a matte or a shiny cloth covering.<br /><br />We are often asked if either material is more practical than the other. We have no information that either fabric is more long-wearing than the other."

You can clip the third wire if you don't need a ground wire or you can use a two-conductor wire.  If you use a single-conductor wire, it can serve as the positive, negative, or ground wire, but must be paired with at least one other conductor to wire a lamp or appliance.<br /><br />If you are in doubt about whether you need two- or three-conductor wire for your application, you should consult an electrician or building inspector."

It was used mostly in utilitarian situations rather than when the wire was likely to be on display. For example, our knob-and-tube wire is lacquered and its function was to provide wiring within the walls of a house."

This insulated cord is covered in rayon or cotton herringbone braid.<br /><br />Parallel cord is a flat cord.

They are twisted together, padded, and braided with either a cotton or rayon herringbone weave. Pulley cord can be used for table-top, floor, or pendant lighting as well as small appliances.<br /><br />Please note that any of our three-conductor wires can be used as a two-conductor wire by clipping the third wire and leaving it unused."

For example, 18-gauge wire is often made from 16 30-gauge wires twisted together. Wire is stranded to give it flexibility.<br /><br />Solid core wire is made of one solid wire. It is very stiff and holds its shape when it is bent.<br /><br />Right now, all of Sundial Wire’s wire is stranded except for the knob-and-tube style wire, which is solid core. Normal lamp cord is stranded."

Now the PVC under the braid is always differentiated, either by each conductor being a different color or by one of a pair of conductors having a stripe in the PVC.<br /><br />We put tracers in the braids of some wires for historical accuracy and/or because it is attractive."
