Zip-cord refers to 2 or more electrical conductors held together by an insulating jacket that can be easily separated simply by pulling apart. The term is also used with optical fiber cables consisting of 2 optical fibers joined in a similar manner. The design of zip-cord makes it easy to keep conductors that carry related electrical or optical signals together and helps avoid tangling of cables. Also referred to as lamp cord, speaker wire, or zip-wire.
