As a Noun: 1. A flexible cable, often made of copper and covered with plastic insulation which carries an electrical current. English = electrical wire. Note: 1. There appears to be no commonly used Auslan sign for ELECTRICAL WIRE for most signers (but some signers represent this visually using these depicting signs, once they have established the topic). This suggested sign is a combination of the Auslan sign ELECTRICITY and a depiction of a thin cable made of twisted threads. Source of this recommended sign: Victorian College for the Deaf
