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.

Harsh-Environment Power Cable

Type P Cable

Type P Cable with Bronze Armor

Transmit power in dirty, corrosive environments such as offshore rigs and ships. This cable is strong enough to resist crushing forces from heavy equipment. Its CPE jacket and tin-plated copper conductors maintain power in areas exposed to chemicals, oil, and salt water. It meets UL 1309 for high-performance marine cables, yet works just as well on land.

Bronze Armor—A layer of bronze armor between the two outer jackets boosts resistance to abrasion, impact, and crushing.

Continuous-Flex Power Cable


Unshielded	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.
