Wire: A single conductor (usually copper or aluminum) that carries electrical current. It may be solid or stranded (multiple small wires twisted together to form a single conductor). Wires can be bare or insulated.
Cable: A cable is a group of two or more insulated conductors (wires) bundled together and often encased in an overall sheath or jacket. Cables are designed for more complex or protected installations and may include shielding, fillers, and armor.
Lol, JK, I’m just splitting hairs.
EDIT: Also if you’re talking about the brown translucent ones they are technically FPC (flexible printed circuits) more similar to a circuit board than a cable.
If I wasn’t being a pedantic ass hole AI might agree that the ribbon cable is made of wires but the only way we can consider a FPC a wire is if we consider the processor a wire because it has individual conductive printed strips and at that point words have no meaning
Also unfortunately for you I am being a pedantic ass hole.
Ribbon cable’s you say? CABLE’S? Not wire’s?

Appreciate the lesson but you just said cables have wires inside.
Edit: I’d also argue that the traces on a FPC very neatly fit the definition of A single conductor that carries electrical current.

You should have led with that. I love being a pedantic asshole. Is a trace singular? Does it carry electric current?
