Traditionally, wire wrapping techniques are best done with typical wire because it keeps its intended shape/form. Multiple strand cable is mainly used for stringing beads. It cannot be shaped into various forms, as it will not retain a certain shape.

What is electrical cable splicing?
Splicing is the joining of cable , rope , wire , or any other type of strand-like material.
How do you install a ceiling fan to plug into a wall outlet and should you use two or three strand electrical cord and which strand on the cord connects to which fan wires?
The neutral wire will have writing or ribs on it and connects to the white wire. The smooth wire is hot and connects to the black wire. Use 3 strand wire in size AWG # 16. If the fan has a light it will have a blue wire. Connect that blue wire to the black wire.
Does the ground wire to a 200 amp box have to be single strand?
No. Usually when you get to that size panels the grounds are stranded.
What cable size of wire if the machine is 50hp?
If it is a 480v 3 pH machine, #4 wire will be fine.
What is SWB armoured cable?
SWB - Steel Wire Braid
Another name of multi strand wire?
Another name that can be used for a multi-strand wire is a cable.
What are the alternatives available to wire ties for wrapping cable?
If you don't like to use wire ties for wrapping cables you could use plastic tubing. Cable ties are usually the most conventional way to keep the cables together.

Another name of single strand wire?
Another name that can be used for a single-strand wire is thread or strand.
What is the word for the meaning 'a flexible strand of metal'?
The word for a flexible strand of metal is "wire."
what is the maximum diameter of single strand steel cable ?
The largest available single strand cable is 32mm. There's no reason it couldn't be made a bit larger, but at this point it's difficult to make a cable that remains flexible. So if you try to build it much bigger it's no longer a cable. Plus there is no real use for anything larger. A rope made of steel wire is much stronger than a single cable. According to online authorities, the maximum diameter of single strand steel cable is 12mm. If essential, contact a steel cable provider for a more accurate number.
What is a thin strand of metal called?
A thin strand of metal is called a wire.
What is the difference between single core and multi core wires?
Single core has one single piece of metal wire, maybe copper or aluminium, with insulation around it. It is not very good if you want the cable to flex and bend as it is more likely to just bend and stay there in the new position. Multiple-strand cable has lots of thin wires and this makes it more flexible and likely to spring back
Why telephone cables are single stranded?
They arent. Most are either 2 or 4 conductor. EDIT: Telephone cables in the UK consist of either four or six-core cable - depending on the circumstances of the installation. Each strand of the cable is a single wire wrapped in a colour-coded sheath to aid identification. The reason each wire is only a single strand, is because the current used to power the phone-line is extremely small, so doesn't need multi-stranded cable. (Snakester1962)
Is there a difference between wire rope and stranded wire?
Yes, wire rope consists of multiple strands of wire twisted together to form a larger, stronger cable. Stranded wire refers to individual wires twisted or braided together to form a single strand. Wire rope is typically used for heavy-duty applications that require extra strength and durability, while stranded wire is more commonly used in smaller-scale applications.
How do you install a ceiling fan to plug into a wall outlet and should you use two or three strand electrical cord and which strand on the cord connects to which fan wires?
The neutral wire will have writing or ribs on it and connects to the white wire. The smooth wire is hot and connects to the black wire. Use 3 strand wire in size AWG # 16. If the fan has a light it will have a blue wire. Connect that blue wire to the black wire.
Cross sectional area of stranded wire?
For a stranded cable: Use a micrometre or vernier gauge to measure 1 strand; this gives you the diameter of the strand. Halve this figure for the radius, square the number and multiply by pi. (pi r squared is the area of a circle). Finally multiply the result by the number of strands which then gives you the true csa of the stranded cable.
