300V AC Cords | McMaster-Carr

After extending to full length to provide added reach, this cable retracts and self-coils for tangle-free storage. It's often used with hand tools and other portable devices.

Stretchable Cable

This cable can be stretched by about 40% and return to its original length, making it useful for applications where cable is in motion. It's often sewn into garments or used with equipment that must be worn.

Abrasion-Resistant Cable

A thick rubber insulation resists cuts and abrasion, so this cable can be pulled over rough surfaces without damaging the wires inside.

Appliance Cable

Also known as zip cord, this cable is often used in lamps, heat guns, and other small appliances.

Oil-Resistant Continuous-Flex Cable

The insulation has excellent resistance to oil, so this cable can be used near motors. Often used in automated applications, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission

Continuous-Flex Cable

Often used in automated applications such as robotics and cable carriers, this cable withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.

Continuous-Flex and -Twist Robotics Cable

In addition to handling continuous movement, this cable withstands twisting up to 450° without degrading data or signal transmission. It's often used in welding robots and rotary tables.

Long-Life Continuous-Flex Cable

With a life span of more than 20 million high-speed flex cycles, this cable lasts twice as long as standard continuous-flex cable. The frequent motion will not degrade data or signal transmission.

Water-Block Control Cable

Keep water from damaging wires—this cable has a layer of absorbent material that traps moisture before it reaches the internal wires. It sends signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment.

Continuous-Flex Data Communication Cable

Often used to send signal and data to order pickers and cranes, this cable withstands continuous motion applications without degrading data or signal transmission.

Data Communication Cable

Use this cable for complex and high-speed data and signal transmission.

Twisted-Pair Data Communication Cable

This cable has twisted pairs of wires that cancel signal interference from multiple transmission lines. Use it for complex and high-speed data and signal transmission.

Audio Cable

Hook up speakers, intercoms, and other low-current devices to a building's communication wiring.

Riser-Rated Communication and Security System Cable

This cable is approved for use in vertical shafts and large facilities with multiple levels. It's often used for low-current circuits such as intercoms and security systems.

Coiled Communication Cable

After extending to full length to provide added reach, this cable retracts and self-coils for tangle-free storage. It's often used with low-current circuits such as microphones and headsets.

Duct-Rated Communication and Security System Cable

Also known as plenum cable, this cable has low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in ductwork and above a drop ceiling. Use it in low-current circuits such as intercoms and security systems.

Communication and Security System Cable

Connect low-current circuits such as intercoms and security systems to a building's electrical system in single-level facilities.

Riser-Rated Fire Alarm Cable

This cable is approved for use in vertical shafts and large facilities with mulitple levels for critical circuits such as fire alarms and smoke detectors.

Duct-Rated Fire Alarm Cable

Also known as plenum cable, this cable has low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in ductwork and above a drop ceiling. Use in critical circuits such as fire alarms and smoke detectors.

Wire

Also known as hook-up wire, this wire is primarily used for wiring electrical panels, lighting, and plant floor equipment.

Wire Assortments

Keep spools of wire in multiple colors on hand.

High-Temperature Wire

Use this wire in ovens, furnaces, and other electrical heating equipment where temperatures reach 480° F and higher.

Tangle-Free Wire

Eliminate tangles—the slippery insulation on this wire won't catch on itself, other wires, or on rough surfaces.

Shielded Stretchable Wire

The shielding in this wire blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. When pulled lengthwise, it extends 40% and then returns to its original length, so it's useful for high-vibration applications.

Stretchable Wire

When pulled lengthwise, this unshielded wire extends 40% and then returns to its original length, so it's useful for high-vibration applications.

Continuous-Flex Wire

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, this wire withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.

Long-Life Continuous-Flex Wire

The thin strands in this wire have better fatigue resistance under repeated flexing than the strands in standard continuous-flex wire, so it will last longer.

Compact Cords

Compatible with Molex connectors, these cords are sized to fit in tight spaces. They're often used in the interior of machines.

Micro M12 Connectors

Micro M12 Screw-Together Connectors

Screw these connectors together for a more secure connection than push-in connectors.

Food Industry Micro M12 Screw-Together Connectors

Safely use these connectors with 12 mm proximity switches, console lights, valves, and power supplies in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications—they’re FDA compliant for direct food contact.
