Cables Australia
Cables are wires that help conduct electrical signals or electrical power from one point (source) to another (destination). In other words, they are the physical medium through which one device or equipment facilitates electrical supply to another.
At Source 22, we offer electrical cables and wires that any business infrastructure or residential home may need to establish communication networks. Also, our cables are the best wires if you want to connect your devices to the UPS systems or charging stations. Moreover, as we offer premium quality cables, we continue to be the most trusted supplier of cables in Australia.
Power Connectors
These are essential electromechanical components that facilitate power supply from source to connected devices like a safety outlet. Be it cables, wires, or circuit boards, these connectors ensure temporary or permanent electrical supply. The connection can be between two wires, two boards, from a wire to a board, etc.
The cables and connectors supplying electrical power are called power cables and power connectors. Likewise, the one connector that helps transmit data is called the data connector. Similarly, we have audio and video connectors. Source 22 is one of the leading suppliers of all sorts of connectors.
The two major components of electrical connectors are housing and terminals. While the former acts as an outer layer that holds the terminals intact and provides insulation, the latter features a conducive material that helps with electrical supply.

Cables and Connectors: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the standard plug or socket type in Australia?
Australia uses Type I as a standard domestic plug. This plug type has three flat pins configured in a triangular shape. The Australian conventional electrical system operates at a 50Hz frequency and the electrical supply accounts for about 230 volts.
In the case of special purposes, they also use alternative plug types with different configurations and pin types.
2. What are the different types of electric cables?
The most common types of electrical cables in Australia are:
- TPS cables—have a tough plastic covering and suitable for residential and commercial purposes.
- SDI cables—have a single core but with single or double insulation types.
- Flexible cables—flexible because bending or routing may be involved in this electrical connection.
- Armored cables—have an additional metal layer for protection or insulation.
- Coaxial cables—one of the data cables that help transmit audio and video signals and are commonly used in all homes with TV and broadband connections.
- Fire-resistant cables—these cables can withstand fire and continue to function without any interruption up to a particular period.
- Wire cables—these cables help maintain electrical safety in homes and commercial spaces.
- Solar cables—these are specially designed for solar connections like solar panels or inverters.
3. What are the different types of data cables?
- Coaxial or coax: It has a conductor at the core and an insulator at the outer layer.
- Fiber optic cable: These cables use light signals to transmit the data and are suitable for long distances.
- Twisted pair: It has two wire cables twisted to reduce electromagnetic interference.
4. What are cable adaptors?
These are the cables that help bridge multiple connectors. Cable adaptors in particular bridge cables with different connectors. On the other hand, a USB adaptor helps bridge devices connect with different USB cables and connectors. A power adaptor helps devices adapt to various power voltages.
