High-Voltage Cable
- Use For: Power Supply, Outdoors
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 190° F
- Insulation: EPDM Rubber
Often used in mining equipment, submersible pumps, and drilling rigs, this cable withstands 2,000 volts AC/DC. The EPDM insulation resists abrasion, so it can be pulled over rough surfaces without damaging the wires inside.

UV-Resistant Wire
- Use for outdoors, buildings, solar equipment, power supply
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 190° F
- Insulation: Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE)
Also known as photovoltaic (PV) wire, this wire won’t deteriorate from UV light when used outdoors. Often used in solar panels, the cross-linked polyethylene (XPLE) insulation won’t break down from prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The insulation also resists chemicals. An RHW-2 industry designation means this wire withstands underground and wet locations.

Outdoor Wire
The EPDM insulation on this wire won’t become brittle or crack from sunlight, humidity, rain, temperature changes, abrasion from dirt and debris, and other rough outdoor conditions. It meets Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) standards for material quality.
DLO wire carries higher voltages than SC wire, making it the better choice for heavy duty applications. Use it to run power to motors, cranes, and other equipment in shipyards, mines, and oil- and gas-drilling rigs. Also known as diesel locomotive cable, this wire was originally designed to wire trains. An outer layer of chlorinated polyethylene plastic (CPE) gives it increased resistance to chemicals, heat, and flames. It’s also rated RHW-2, so it can be used underground and in wet locations.
All are flame rated, so they meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test. FT4 wire is mounted to a vertical tray during testing.
