Solid and Stranded
Conductors come in two variations, solid and stranded. Solid (Figure 1) offers slightly
lower resistance. The key to solid conductors is better performance at high
frequencies.

Stranded (Figure 2) offers greater flexibility that is limpness, and greater "flex-life", or
flexes until failure.

Multiconductor
As the name implies, multi conductor cables consist of many conductors. (Figure 3.)
They are common in control applications but are rarely used for signal applications,
and therefore, we will not be focusing on them for this paper.
