About Wire and Cable

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

Twisted-Pair Continuous-Flex Control Cable

Prevent mixed messages in control systems such as sensors and PLCs. The twisted-pair wires in this cable prevent internal and external signal interference, even in electrically noisy areas. Designed for the demands of continuous motion, this cable transmits signals for millions of flex cycles. Its finely stranded conductors are twisted together like a rope to resist wear from constant bending.

Shielded—A single layer of shielding protects sensitive electronics and control systems by blocking electromagnetic interference (EMI). Otherwise, equipment such as motors and pumps could distort signals.

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.

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.

Pendant Cable

Often used to wire pendant switches, this cable hangs from an overhead connection. It’s also known as bus drop cable.

Stranded Wire with Strain Relief

Cable with strain relief has galvanized steel strain cables on the sides to provide strength and reduce the stress caused by equipment hanging from cable. Use the strain relief hardware (sold separately) to secure equipment to the cable.

PVC Inner Insulation—The PVC insulation resists abrasion, chemicals, and oil.
