A wire is a single, usually cylindrical, flexible strand or rod of metal. Wires are used in electronics to either transmit power or signals. Wire is commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate. Wire gauges come in various standard sizes, as expressed in terms of a gauge number. Wire may also loosely refer to a bundle of smaller strands. An electrical cable comprises two or more wires running side by side and bonded, twisted, or braided together to form a single assembly, the ends of which can be connected to two devices, enabling the transfer of electrical signals from one device to the other.
