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.

Continuous-Flex Control Cable

Unshielded

Even after millions of flex cycles, this cable transmits reliable signals. Its finely stranded conductors are twisted together like a rope to resist wear from constant bending. Use it in moving equipment such as cable carriers.

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.

Continuous-Flex Power Cable

Shielded

Power motors on moving gantries and cranes with this cable that flexes millions of times without breaking. It’s made for constant motion, with finely stranded conductors twisted like a rope to resist wear from bending.

Shielded—Shielding stops these cables from acting as antennas that emit electromagnetic interference, which could disrupt nearby equipment such as control or data cables.

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.

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.

No-Conduit-Required Continuous-Flex Control Cable

Unshielded

Eliminate the need for conduit and cable splices. Made to TC-ER (Tray Cable, Exposed Run) standards, this cable resists impact and crushing force. You can run a single length from stationary equipment to and through moving equipment, such as cable carriers. Support it every six feet to prevent sagging. Even after millions of flex cycles, this cable transmits reliable signals. Its finely stranded conductors are twisted together like a rope, strengthening the cable and preventing fatigue from constant bending.

Abrasion-Resistant Continuous-Flex Control Cable

Unshielded

Prevent wear and tear in rough areas and conditions. Unlike other continuous-flex control cables, the rugged polyurethane jacket on this cable protects against abrasion as well as exposure to chemicals, oil, and moisture. It’s often used in cable carriers in high-production CNC machines that need reliable signals for millions of flex cycles. Its finely stranded conductors are twisted together like a rope to resist wear from constant bending.

Control Cable

Unshielded

Control, monitor, and regulate stationary equipment such as sensors and PLCs. You can flex and bend this cable during installation and adjustments, but it isn't made for continuous motion.
