About Wire and Cable

Use for solar equipment, automation, continuous motion
Continuous Flex
Temperature Range: -85° to 325° F
Insulation: Silicone Rubber

A thick insulation protects this wire from high voltages while maintaining flexibility. The insulation also resists moisture. Often used in automated applications such as robotics, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

High-Voltage Outdoor Wire

Use for outdoors, buildings, solar equipment, power supply
Flexible
Temperature Range: -40° to 190° F
Insulation: Polyethylene Plastic

Also known as photovoltaic (PV) wire, this wire is often used in solar panels and withstands 2,000 volts AC/DC. The industry designation is RHW-2, so it can be used underground and in wet locations. Made of polyethylene, the insulation resists abrasion and chemicals.
