I am trying to fix my earbuds, but am unfamiliar with one of the wires. It consists of just a few very thin strands of red wire wrapped around a core of fluffy threads.
What is this called and why is it done this way?
The thing that confuses me most is that this wire runs right next to an uninsulated wire of copper strands. Wouldn't this cause to the wires to shortcircuit?
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Googling has not proved helpful as I must be typing in the wrong search terms.
