About Wire and Cable

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

Building Wire

Install this copper wire in conduit and cable trays in commercial and industrial buildings. It's also known as branch circuit wire. The outer jacket is designed to be installed without applying pulling lubricant.

Stranded Wire with Nylon Outer Jacket and PVC Inner Insulation

TFFN, THHN/THWN, and THHN/THWN-2

Stranded

Stranded wire is flexible, so it’s pliable enough to be pulled around corners.

Wire with a nylon outer jacket resists oil and water.

TFFN Cable—TFFN wire is also known as fixture wire. It’s for use in dry locations.

THHN Cable—THHN wire can be used in dry or damp locations where wire is exposed to condensation or moisture, such as a basement.

THWN Cable and THWN-2 Cable—THWN and THWN-2 wire can be used in both wet and dry environments.

UL 2556 VW-1—Flame rated VW-1 wire meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Stranded Wire with Aramid Fabric Outer Jacket and Silicone Rubber Inner Insulation

Wire with aramid fabric outer and silicone rubber inner insulation is best for your most rugged applications, such as wiring inside a motor. Its outer layer protects the wire if it’s cut or struck. Meanwhile, its inner layer makes it flexible enough to bend in tight spots. It’s also known as silicone rubber motor lead (SRML) wire.
