Stranding a line

Stranding a line refers to a process in electrical or telecommunications installation where multiple individual conductors are grouped together and assembled into a single, unified cable or conductor. This technique enhances the mechanical strength, flexibility, and durability of the cable, making it easier to handle and install in various environments. The conductors are twisted or bunched together, often around a core, and then insulated. Overall, stranding allows for efficient, reliable transmission of electrical signals or power over long distances while accommodating movement and installation needs.
