Outdoor Lead 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.

600V AC/600V DC

SC Cable—SC wire is a good choice for temporary setups powering outdoor lights, equipment, generators, and power distribution boxes, since its thick insulation makes it easy to move and reuse. Commonly found at outdoor events, it’s also known as stage cable.

UL 2556 FT5—All are flame rated, so they meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test. FT5 wire is suspended horizontally during testing.

DLO Cable—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.

UL 2556 FT4—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.

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.

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

Aluminum Building Wire

Mend or extend aluminum wire often found in older buildings. This wire isn’t recommended for new wiring, since it’s more likely to overheat than copper when conducting electricity. However, it’s safer to maintain existing aluminum wire with aluminum rather than mixing materials. Building wire is also known as branch circuit wire.

This wire has an outer layer of nylon insulation that won't degrade from oil and water. It’s designed to be pulled through conduit without pulling lubricants. THHN and THWN-2 designated, this wire can be used in damp places.
