    About Wire and Cable
    industrial info icon

    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.

    Flat Control Cable

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Control Cable. Flat Control Cable.
    Also known as festoon cable, this cable is made to withstand strain when hanging in loops and traveling laterally back-and-forth in cranes, hoists, and conveyors. It can handle periodic flexing and bending, but it is not designed 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.
