Motor Cable
Also known as VFD motor cable, this cable is used in variable-frequency drive motors. It has a layer of braid and foil shielding that provides excellent protection against signal interference caused by voltage fluctuations and current spikes. The industry designation is WTTC, so it can be installed in cable trays or raceway in a wind turbine generator. It’s flame rated FT4 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with material mounted to a vertical tray. The insulation resists oil.
Cable with power and signal wires has an individually shielded pair of wires that connect to a brake or temperature sensor, reducing the number of cables used in areas with limited space.
- Use For: Motors, Interference Shielding
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 220° F
- Insulation: Polyethylene Plastic

Building Wire
- Use for buildings
- Stranded Wire: Flexible
Solid Wire: Bend and Stay - Temperature Range:
Wire with Nylon Outer Insulation: -10° to 190° F
Wire with Polyethylene Outer Insulation: -40° to 190° F
Install this wire in conduit and cable trays in commercial and industrial buildings. It's also known as branch circuit wire.
Stranded wire is flexible, so it’s pliable enough to be pulled around corners. Wire with a polyethylene outer insulation resists abrasion and chemicals. It’s more flexible than nylon insulated wire.
XHHW-2 wire is for dry and wet locations where wire may be exposed to dripping or splashing liquid. Flame rated VW-1 wire meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
Build-Your-Own Test Leads
Choose your own combination of test lead tips and cords.
The connection end on the cords is a 4 mm banana plug, which is the standard for connecting to a multimeter.
