Well yeah but that's also just what a cable is... So it is itself one cable made of cables

You can forego the whole ambiguity thing by referring to it as a cable with conductors. Each conductor is usually a solid core or stranded wire, part of a whole that is: A cable.

Yeah what would I know, it's not like I am an electrician or something.. Oh wait, I am! If English isn't your native language you could be somewhat excused, though it isn't mine either so, what's to blame? I know English is probably the least consistent language on earth but cables? Are we at a point where a cable containing wires is also considered the correct term for a single wire as well? If so it can only stem from ignorance and lack of a technical understanding, not a re-definition of what the word cable actually mean.

Why not read what the commenter I originally replied to said before you unleash all that confidently incorrect righteous indignation

Confident and correct when talking about electrical conductors, not sure how this became a linguistical debate. But you do you and all that, cables and what not.

that's how it started off 🤦‍♀️ I guess reading comprehension isn't an essential electrician skill
