Unconnected Drain Wires ?


I have seen some power cables for sale here that have unconnected drain wires.

What is a drain wire?

Why do they disconnect drain wires on some cables, but not on others?

Does an unconnected drain wire present a hazzard?

Thank you.

Hi Jea48,

I am Tel Wire. I try my best to when I give opinions to not have them not conflict/inadvertently support my design decisions.

Thanks John!
