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

    Power Cable

    Image of Product. Front orientation. 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.

    High-Voltage Continuous-Flex Flat Power Cable

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Power Cable. High-Voltage Continuous-Flex Flat Power Cable.
    For high-voltage systems with constant motion, this cable flexes without breaking. Its thick silicone rubber jacket insulates against high voltage and resists chemicals, oil, moisture, and UV rays. The jacket also has a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) design to prevent toxic emissions if there’s a fire.
