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

    High-Temperature Lead Wire

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lead Wire. High-Temperature Lead Wire.
    Even at 480° F—hotter than some industrial ovens—this wire’s insulation won’t melt.
    Ceramic Fabric Outer Jacket—Wire with a ceramic fabric outer insulation withstands the hottest temperatures of our offering, so you can safely run it near open flames. It’s flame rated VW-1 to prevent the spread of fire. This wire won’t become brittle or crack from chemicals. Bend it and it stays in place.
    Stranded Wire with Fiberglass Fabric Outer Jacket and Mica Inner Insulation—Wire with a fiberglass outer and mica inner insulation is the common choice for steel mills, iron mills, and glass manufacturing. You may know it as MG wire.
    Stranded Wire with Fiberglass Fabric Outer Jacket and PTFE Inner Insulation—Wire with a fiberglass outer and PTFE inner insulation won’t corrode from moisture, so it’s often used in industrial drying equipment. It also won’t become brittle or crack from chemicals. This wire is commonly known as TGGT wire.
    Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Fabric Outer Jacket—Wire with a silicone-coated outer insulation shields your skin from fiberglass particles when handling the wire.

    Radiation-Resistant Lead Wire

    The PEEK insulation on this wire won't degrade when exposed to radiation, and is often used in nuclear energy production. The insulation also resists harsh chemicals and high pressure, so it can also be used in equipment for mining or oil and gas exploration. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. If it is exposed to flames, it minimizes how much smoke and halogen it releases.
    Stranded Wire—Stranded wire is flexible, so it’s pliable enough to be pulled around corners.
    Solid Wire—Solid wire bends and stays in the position that you bend it. It’s easier to terminate than stranded wire.
    Silver-Plated Copper Wire—Silver-plated wire is stronger and more corrosion resistant than bare wire.
