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.

Building Cable


THHN Cable NM-B Cable	UF-B Cable THHN Cable

Rated for in-wall installation, this cable carries power to wall outlets. Also known as branch circuit wire, it can be used without conduit. It has solid THHN building wires, so the cable will stay in the shape you bend it. The uninsulated ground wire is not counted in the number of wires.

NM-B Cable—NM-B cable is for dry locations where moisture is not a concern, and often run through walls, ceilings, and concrete blocks.

UF-B Cable—UF-B cable is for wet locations where cable may be exposed to moisture or humidity. It's often used as underground feeder cable for pumps and lighting. The insulation resists moisture and UV light.

Squeeze-and-Strip Building Cable Strippers

With just a squeeze, strip and remove outer insulation from your cable. These strippers require less effort than standard strippers or stripping knives because you don’t need to manually peel the insulation. The blade automatically adjusts to the outer diameter of your cable to remove a layer of insulation. They’re often used on NM-B cable (also known as Romex) since you can strip the cable jacket and the insulation on the individual wires without changing settings in between. Turn the adjustment knob to fine-tune the position of the blades so you don’t nick inner insulation, thin wires, or stranded wire. Set your strip length with the stop for consistent strips across multiple cables.

Armored Building Cable with Uninsulated Ground Wire

Also known as AC cable, this cable has an uninsulated aluminum ground wire that's in constant contact with the aluminum armor, so it can be used for bonding and grounding. The uninsulated ground wire is not counted in the number of wires. The armor acts as conduit to protect the THHN building wires. It's often used along the exterior of walls to carry power to outlet boxes. All are flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Steel—Steel strippers stay sharp with continuous use.

Stainless Steel—Stainless steel strippers resist corrosion and won't rust as quickly as strippers with steel blades when stored. They're best for less frequent use because their blades dull more quickly than steel blades.
