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.
Unshielded wire works in most applications. You can twist it 90° while pulling and bending it at the same time.
Choose shielded wire if you need protection against signal interference from nearby equipment, such as variable frequency drives or small motors. 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-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.

Extension Cords for Welding
Run power to welders in machine shops, garages, and other areas where these cords will be exposed to harsh conditions. These cords have either EPDM or PVC insulation that protects the cord's wires from weld slag and being dragged, kicked, and stepped on. Their insulation also won't crack or become brittle when exposed to oil, water, and weather. They also stay flexible across a wide range of temperatures. A power-indicating light on the socket illuminates when the cord has power.
NEMA 6-50 cords can be used with higher voltage equipment than NEMA 5-15 cords. Use them with portable MIG welders rated up to 400 amps as well as TIG welders, stick welders, and plasma cutters rated up to 250V AC. They have a light that illuminates when they’re grounded safely. A handle makes them easy to plug in and unplug.

Abrasion-Resistant Extension Cords
Thick insulation protects the internal wires of these cords, so they can be used in high-traffic areas and over rough surfaces. The industry designation is STW, so the insulation resists water.
Cords with a NEMA 14-50 plug and socket have a high current rating and are often used to power electric vehicles. The light on their socket illuminates when the cord has power. Their plug and socket have handles, making them easy to grip when plugging or unplugging them.
Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.
