Intambo eboshiwe yakhiwe inombolo yezintambo ezincane ezihlanganiswe noma ezisongwe ndawonye ukuze zenze ikhondukta enkulu. Intambo ene-stranded ivumelana nezimo kunocingo oluqinile lwengqikithi yendawo ephambanayo. Intambo eboshiwe isetshenziswa lapho ukumelana okuphezulu nokukhathala kwensimbi kuyadingeka. Izimo ezinjalo zihlanganisa ukuxhumana phakathi kwamabhodi wesifunda kumadivayisi webhodi le-multi-printed-circuit-board, lapho ukuqina kocingo oluqinile kuzoveza ukucindezeleka okukhulu ngenxa yokunyakaza ngesikhathi sokuhlangana noma ukusevisa; Izintambo ze-AC zemishini; izintambo zezinsimbi zomculo; izintambo zegundane lekhompyutha; izintambo ze-electrode zokushisela; izintambo zokulawula ezixhuma izingxenye zomshini ezihambayo; izintambo zomshini wokumba; izintambo zomshini wokulandela umkhondo; nabanye abaningi.

Kumafrikhwensi aphezulu, ukuhamba kwamanje eduze nendawo yocingo ngenxa yomphumela wesikhumba, okuholela ekwenyukeni kokulahlekelwa kwamandla ocingweni. Intambo eboshiwe ingase ibonakale inciphisa lo mphumela, njengoba ingqikithi yendawo yonke yezintambo inkulu kunendawo yocingo oluqinile olufanayo, kodwa intambo evamile enemicu ayiwehlisi umphumela wesikhumba ngoba zonke izintambo zifinyezwa ndawonye futhi ziziphatha kahle. njengomqhubi oyedwa. Intambo enezintambo izoba nokumelana okuphakeme kunocingo oluqinile lobubanzi obufanayo ngenxa yokuthi ingxenye enqamulayo yocingo oluboshiwe akulona lonke ithusi; kukhona izikhala ezingenakugwemeka phakathi kwezintambo (lena inkinga yokupakisha indilinga yemibuthano ngaphakathi kwendilinga). Intambo enezintambo ezinengxenye efanayo yekhondatha njengocingo oluqinile kuthiwa inegeji efanayo efanayo futhi ihlale ingububanzi obukhudlwana.

Kodwa-ke, ezinhlelweni eziningi zefrikhwensi ephezulu, umphumela wokusondele unzima kakhulu kunomphumela wesikhumba, futhi kwezinye izimo ezinomkhawulo, intambo elula enezintambo inganciphisa umphumela wokusondelana. Ukuze usebenze kangcono kumafrikhwensi aphezulu, intambo ye-litz, enemicu engayodwana evalekile futhi esontekile ngamaphethini akhethekile, ingasetshenziswa.
Lapho izintambo zocingo ziningi kunqwaba yocingo, yilapho intambo ishintshashintsha, imelana ne-kink, inganqamuki, futhi iqina kakhulu ucingo. Kodwa-ke, izintambo eziningi zandisa ubunzima bokukhiqiza kanye nezindleko.

Ngezizathu zejiyomethri, inombolo ephansi kakhulu yezintambo ngokuvamile ezibonwa ngu-7: eyodwa phakathi, kanye ne-6 eyizungezile ngokuxhumana okuseduze. Izinga elilandelayo phezulu liyi-19, okungenye ingqimba yezintambo ezingu-12 phezulu kwe-7. Ngemva kwalokho inombolo iyahlukahluka, kodwa i-37 ne-49 ijwayelekile, bese kuba yi-70 kuya ku-100 ububanzi (inombolo ayisaqondile). Ngisho nezinombolo ezinkulu kunalezo ngokuvamile zitholakala kumakhebuli amakhulu kakhulu.

Ngohlelo lokusebenza lapho ucingo luhamba khona, u-19 uphansi kakhulu okufanele usetshenziswe (u-7 kufanele usetshenziswe kuphela ezinhlelweni lapho ucingo lubekwe khona bese lunganyakazi), futhi u-49 ungcono kakhulu. Kuzinhlelo zokusebenza ezinokunyakaza okuphindaphindiwe njalo, njengamarobhothi omhlangano nezintambo ze-headphone, i-70 kuya ku-100 iyadingeka.

Kuzinhlelo zokusebenza ezidinga ukuguquguquka okwengeziwe, kusetshenziswa izintambo ezengeziwe (izintambo zokushisela ziyisibonelo esivamile, kodwa futhi nanoma yisiphi isicelo esidinga ukuhambisa ucingo ezindaweni eziqinile). Isibonelo esisodwa intambo engu-2/0 eyenziwe ngemicu engu-5,292 ye- #36 gauge wire. Izintambo zihlelwa ngokuqala ukudala inqwaba yezintambo ezingu-7. Bese eziyisi-7 zalezi zinqwaba zihlanganiswa zibe izinyanda ezinkulu. Ekugcineni kusetshenziswa izinyanda eziyi-108 ezinkulu ukwenza ikhebula lokugcina. Iqembu ngalinye lezintambo lilinyazwa ku-helix ukuze kuthi lapho ucingo lugobeka, ingxenye yenqwaba eyeluliwe izungeza i-helix iye engxenyeni ecindezelwe ukuvumela ucingo lube nokucindezeleka okuncane.
