    About Wire and Cable
    industrial info icon

    Compare wire vs. cable and choose the right option based on gauge, number of conductors, insulation, and current rating.

    Long-Life Continuous-Flex Lead Wire

    The strands in this wire have better fatigue resistance under repeated flexing than the copper strands in standard continuous-flex wire, so it will last longer. Often used in low-current signaling in automated applications such as robotics, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.

    High-Strength Expandable Wire Sleeving

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. High-Strength Expandable Wire Sleeving.
    With excellent torsional strength, this sleeving withstands the extreme twisting found in robotics. Made of carbon fiber, it has impact strength similar to steel yet is lighter than plastic and rubber. Resistant to corrosion and chemicals, it’s often used to protect brake lines and hydraulic lines. It’s expandable, so it stretches to fit over items for easy installation, then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate. Cut with scissors or a hot-blade knife.
