TERMINATION

 This is the connection of the wire to a device, such as equipment , panels, or a wall out let which
allows for connecting the cable to other devices.
 A wire termination is the work performed to the ends of the wire which allows it to connect to
the device ( connector, switch , terminals.
 During termination the wire insulation is stripped ,and the contact or the terminal is attached to
the wire
 When we terminate we basically need current to flow through the cable and as well as voltage.
 Current is the flow of electrons in a conductor.
 Voltage is the electrical pressure causing current to flow.
 Resistance is the opposition of the flow of the current in the conductor determined by length,
cross sectional area and temperature
 Power is the product of current and voltage ,hence power =I*V
