About Wire and Cable

High-Temperature Cable

The insulation on this cable withstands high-heat applications such as ovens and furnaces. The wires are silver or nickel plated for corrosion resistance.

Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern. It has a layer of fiberglass fabric and mica tape around each wire. The entire cable is wrapped in a layer of fiberglass fabric and mica tape, and then covered in PTFE. The PTFE outer insulation resists chemicals, oil, abrasion, and moisture.

Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has PTFE outer and inner insulation that resists chemicals, oil, abrasion, and moisture.

Protected by heat-resistant insulation, this wire is often used in ovens, furnaces, and other electrical heating equipment.

Wire with a fiberglass outer and mica inner insulation is also known as MG wire. It’s often used to wire equipment in steel mills, iron mills, and glass manufacturing.

Wire with a fiberglass outer and PTFE inner insulation is also known as TGGT wire. It resists chemicals and moisture and can be used in industrial drying equipment.

Wire with ceramic fabric outer insulation can be used in open flame applications. The insulation resists chemicals. It bends and stays in the position that you bend it.

Flame rated VW-1 wire meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Wire with FEP Plastic Insulation: Flexible
Wire with Silicone Rubber Insulation: Ultra Flexible
Temperature Range:
Wire with FEP Plastic Insulation: -239° to 390° F
Wire with Silicone Rubber Insulation: -100° to 400° F

Rated to 50 volts AC/DC, this wire is often used in small electronics and robotics. It’s also known as hook-up wire.

Wire with FEP insulation is chemical resistant.

Wire with silicone rubber insulation is ultra-flexible for use in applications that require tight turns. It also withstands moisture.

Silver-plated wire is stronger and more corrosion resistant than bare wire.
