About Wire and Cable

Coiled Extension Cords

These self-coiling cords return to their retracted length after stretching for tangle-free storage.

Battery Power Cords

Connect batteries to each other or to electrical systems.

Wall-Mount Outlet Strips

Create a permanent outlet system without opening walls. These outlet strips mount to a wall with clips and hardwire to an existing electrical system.

Ethernet Cords

Use these unshielded cords where signal interference is not a concern.

Shielded Ethernet Cords

The shielding blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Continuous-Flex Ethernet Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission. They have an RJ45 plug on each end.

D-Sub Cords

Connect computers, monitors, printers, and other devices with DB connections.

Coaxial Cords

Transmit audio, video, and data signals over long distances with minimal signal loss.

DMX Cords

Commonly used for movie, stage, and interior building lighting, these cords connect to equipment with five-pin XLR connections.

ix Industrial Cords

Securely connect equipment in data or signal applications. These cords have A- or B-coded plugs to meet the needs of your device.

Cable

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.

Armored Corrosion-Resistant Cable

A braided bronze armor provides excellent protection against abrasion and other damage. The wires are tin-plated for corrosion resistance, and the insulation resists corrosive chemicals and salt water.

Corrosion-Resistant Cable

The insulation resists corrosive chemicals and salt water, and the wires in this cable are tin plated for corrosion resistance.

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.

High-Temperature Cable

For high-heat applications such as furnaces and ovens, this cable's insulation withstands temperatures of 390° F and higher.

Control Cable

Send signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment such as conveyors and CNC machines.

Space-Saver Control Cable

Nearly two-thirds the diameter of standard control cable, this cable fits in tight spaces. It sends signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment.

No-Conduit-Required Control Cable

This cable meets TC-ER crush and impact requirements for exposed runs in cable trays, so it can be used without conduit. It sends signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment.

Motor Cable

This cable is used in variable-frequency drive motors. It has shielding to block signal interference caused by voltage fluctuations and current spikes.

Automation Cable

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.

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

No-Conduit-Required Continuous-Flex Cable

Use this cable without conduit in automated applications—it meets crush and impact requirements for exposed runs in cable carriers, and 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.

Servomotor Continuous-Flex Cable

Connect servocontrollers and servomotors in automated equipment and on assembly lines. This cable withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.

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.

Thermocouple Extension Wire with Connectors

Extend the reach of your thermocouple probe—plug-in connectors on both ends of this wire speed up installation.
