A Cable can be defined as a number of insulated metallic conductors bunched in a compact form by providing mechanical protection and electrical insulation.
The cable in which core is fully filled with petroleum jelly, a water-resistant compound, is called jelly filled cable.
Cable can be classified as Underground Cable (laid under ground), Submarine cable (laid under water), Aerial cable (laid over head) and Indoor cable ( laid along the walls of building). However, in Railways only Underground and Indoor (Switch Board)
