Braid Explanation: I am encluding an interesting glossary on cables, which includes the following definition that should answer your question: Braid - A fibrous or metallic group of filaments interwoven in cylindrical form to form a covering over one or more wires. The text asks for a name, not an adjective "... such as braid, shielding, attenuation characteristics, gauge, etc..." Regards Reference: http://www.amercable.com/glossary.asp |

windings Explanation: Your original Spanish text is a little awkward, equating different types of items: "Los alambres y cables... serán los apropiados ... incluyendo aquellos detalles" -- in other words, " the wires and cables ... will be the appropriate ones ... including those details..." For clarity, I'd change the sentence structure slightly in the English version, thus: "The wires and cables for special systems, such as telecommunications systems, process instrumentation, telemetry, etc., shall be suitable for the applications in question, as shall the features (windings, shielding, attenuation characteristics, gauge, etc.) of the cable employed." -- A few notes: "shielding" is invariable (the plural does not take an 's'), and for "entorchados" you could also use "spiral windings" (but not "braids" or "braided windings." Braiding and plain spiral winding are two different things, and if braided shielding had been one of the intended features, the Spanish text would probably have used a word like "trenzados" or "trencillados"). -- Hope this helps! |
