Description

A structure composed of multiple threads wound together for greater strength and stability. This most commonly refers to electrical cords, which plug into electrical outlets to power equipment.

"Cord" and "wire" are often used interchangeably when referring to electronics, but they technically refer to different things. A wire contains only a single piece of conductive metal, while a cord contains multiple wires packaged together to provide multiple functions (such as an active wire and a ground wire).
