More flexible than standard wire, this wire is often used for internal appliance wiring. The strand count is the number of strands followed by the size of the individual strand. The higher the number of strands, the more flexible the wire. Also known as MTW wire, it’s rated UL 1063 for machine tool wiring.
Flame rated VW-1 wire meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Outdoor Wire
The EPDM insulation on this wire won’t become brittle or crack from sunlight, humidity, rain, temperature changes, abrasion from dirt and debris, and other rough outdoor conditions. It meets Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) standards for material quality.
DLO wire carries higher voltages than SC wire, making it the better choice for heavy duty applications. Use it to run power to motors, cranes, and other equipment in shipyards, mines, and oil- and gas-drilling rigs. Also known as diesel locomotive cable, this wire was originally designed to wire trains. An inner layer of chlorinated polyethylene plastic (CPE) gives it increased resistance to chemicals, heat, and flames. It’s also rated RHW-2, so it can be used underground and in wet locations.
All are flame rated, so they meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test. FT4 wire is mounted to a vertical tray during testing.

Extension Cords for Welding
Run power to welders in machine shops, garages, and other areas where these cords will be exposed to harsh conditions. These cords have either EPDM or PVC insulation that protects the cord's wires from weld slag and being dragged, kicked, and stepped on. Their insulation also won't crack or become brittle when exposed to oil, water, and weather. They also stay flexible across a wide range of temperatures. A power-indicating light on the socket illuminates when the cord has power.
NEMA 5-15 cords are for use with most tools, such as angle grinders and hammer drills, rated up to 125V AC. With an additional layer of CPE on top of the EPDM, they withstand higher temperatures than cords insulated with TPE or PVC. Even in temperatures up to 190° F, they won’t degrade from chemicals or lose their toughness.
