insulated wire
Coated electrical line
Insulated wire is electrical wire coated with a non-conductive material—rubber, plastic, or enamel—that prevents current from escaping and protects against shock or short circuits.
The insulation allows wires to run safely through walls, bundle together, or contact other surfaces: The electrician ran insulated wire through the conduit.
