About Wire and Cable

Drop-Down Cable

Often used to wire pendant switches, this cable hangs from an overhead connection. It’s also known as bus drop cable.

The PVC insulation resists abrasion, chemicals, and oil.

Cable with three uninsulated ground wires can be used in wet environments. The ground wires are not counted in the number of wires.

Cable with strain relief has galvanized steel strain cables on the sides to provide strength and reduce the stress caused by equipment hanging from cable. Use the strain relief hardware (sold separately) to secure equipment to the cable.
