There are many types and specifications of audio cables. According to the number of core wires, there are single-core, double-core and multi-core wires; according to the thickness of the wire, there are 0.1, 0.15, 0.3 square millimeters and other specifications; according to the density of the shielding layer , there are 96 nets, 112 nets, 128 nets, etc. According to the weaving method of the shielding layer, there are net type and wrapping type, etc. The following types are common audio cables, you can use them as a reference.
