I think you are using the terms in a colloquial sense whereas i am using a technical sense.

In my view the distinction between a cable and a wire is one of construction, not what it’s carrying.

Wire = a continuous length of conductor electrically connecting one thing to another

Cable = one or more wires, with electrical insulation between them, generally enclosed in an outer jacket suitable for end user handling. It could be transmitting usb data or 32kW at 800V and still be a cable.
