Izintambo zikagesi zingahlukaniswa ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene. Ngokusekelwe kumehluko we-conductor, insulation, kanye nezinto ze-sheath, zingahlukaniswa zibe izintambo zethusi-eziyinhloko, izintambo ze-aluminium{2}}eziyinhloko,{3}}izintambo eziphambanayo ze-polyethylene (XLPE){4}}ne-polyvinyl chloride (PVC){5}{5}phakathi kwezinye izinhlobo. Ngayinye yalezi zinhlobo zamakhebula inikeza izinzuzo ezinhlelweni ezihlukene ngenxa yezakhiwo zayo ezihlukile zomzimba namakhemikhali. Isibonelo, amakhebuli{8}}ekhopha, anokuhamba kwawo okuhle kakhulu namandla aqine kakhulu, asetshenziswa kabanzi-ekudlulisweni kwamandla kagesi aphezulu. Izintambo{11}}ezixhunywe i-polyethylene (i-XLPE){12}}ezihlanganisiwe, ezinokushisa kwazo okuphakeme nokumelana namakhemikhali, ziyinketho ekahle yokudlulisela amandla ezindaweni eziyinselele.
