About Wire and Cable

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

Power Cable

Built for rough handling and frequent positioning, this cable delivers power you can count on. Use it for everything from extension cords to cords for hydraulic presses. Made to NEC Article 400 requirements, you can trust it to power whatever you need. Plus, the flexible jacket takes the struggle out of routing it through tight spaces and around machinery.

No-Conduit-Required Control Cable

Unshielded

Double Shielded

Made to TC-ER (Tray Cable, Exposed Run) standards, this crush- and impact-resistant cable eliminates the cost and hassle of installing conduit. It’s ideal for exposed runs, such as from a cable tray down to a control panel or motor control box. Support it every six feet to prevent sagging. You can flex and bend this cable during installation and adjustments, but it isn't made for continuous motion.

Unshielded—Choose unshielded wires when electromagnetic interference (EMI) isn't a concern. Equipment such as motors and pumps may have voltage fluctuations and current spikes that distort signals.

Double Shielded—With two layers of shielding, this cable offers better protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) than single-shielded cable. It’s often used near transformers, generators, and heavy duty motors that may have voltage fluctuations and current spikes that distort signals.

Chemical-Resistant Continuous-Flex Lead Wire

Insulated with TPE, this wire won’t break down from oil, coolant, or chemicals, and it carries a strong signal even when repeatedly bent. This makes it great for greasy equipment on automated lines, such as lubricated cable carriers. Its insulation also stands up to moisture and sunlight, so you can use this wire outdoors. This wire is flame rated FT1, which means it meets requirements for preventing the spread of fire.

Stranded Wire with TPE Outer Jacket


Unshielded with 90° Torsion Angle	Shielded

Shielded with 180° Torsion Angle

Unshielded—Unshielded wire works in most applications. You can twist it 90° while pulling and bending it at the same time.

Shielded—Choose shielded wire if you need protection against signal interference from nearby equipment, such as variable frequency drives or small motors.

Braided Shield—Braid-shielded wire blocks signal interference better than spiral-shielded wire. While it can bend and flex continuously, the shielding may tear if repeatedly twisted.

Spiral Shield—Spiral-shielded wire balances good signal interference and flexibility. It's the most flexible wire we offer, so it will bend, flex, and twist 180° without stretching or snapping.

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.

2,000V AC

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.
