For your cable manufacturing and assembly to be a success, it’s crucial that the right wiring choice is made. Single-stranded wiring is typically less expensive, but is not as flexible, which can lead to metal fatigue and/or wire snapping. This makes single-stranded wiring best for products that don’t involve much movement, and it’s typically used in smaller gauge applications. Multi-stranded wiring involves more extrusion and stranding rounds, which brings about a higher cost. This choice is more flexible and less susceptible to metal fatigue or cracking, and is a better solution for wiring that needs to bend and maneuver. Multi-strand wires will encounter less resistance because of its increased surface area. There can be challenges with this choice if connectors soldering or terminal soldering is needed, and this type of wiring is better suited for applications needing a crimp connector.
