About Wire and Cable

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

Armored Building Cable

Also known as metal clad (MC) cable, this cable has metal armor that acts as conduit to protect the building wires. It's often used along the exterior of walls to carry power to outlet boxes. It has a ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.

Hazardous location environmental ratings indicate whether manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in a hazardous environment. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it is rated for your environment.

MC, THHN Solid Wire

Cable with THHN wire stands up to condensation and moisture in basements and other damp environments.

Harsh-Environment Power 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.

Armored Building Cable with Uninsulated Ground Wire

Also known as AC cable, this cable has an uninsulated aluminum ground wire that's in constant contact with the aluminum armor, so it can be used for bonding and grounding. The uninsulated ground wire is not counted in the number of wires. The armor acts as conduit to protect the THHN building wires. It's often used along the exterior of walls to carry power to outlet boxes. All are flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Armored Building Cable with Fittings

Also known as fixture whips, this cable has locknuts and fittings attached to the metal armor to secure to a knockout. The armor acts as conduit to protect the THHN building wires. It has 6" long wire leads for hardwiring to an existing electrical system, and is often used to connect light fixtures.

Power Cords for Electric Door Locks

Transfer power between your door frame and door to power electric locks or exit devices. These cords mount on the surface of the door, rather than inside the frame, so they’re easier to install than other power transfer devices such as hinges and mortises. A stainless steel armor protects the wire leads and prevents tampering with your lock.

Choose a cord based on your door's opening direction. For doors that open outward, the cord is longer to accommodate the extra distance the door moves as it swings away from the frame.

Duct-Rated Fire Alarm Cable

Also known as plenum cable, this FPLP cable has low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in duct work and above a drop ceiling. The insulation is also flame resistant for use in critical circuits such as fire alarm systems and smoke detectors.

Unshielded—Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.

Shielded—Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has an uninsulated ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.

Armored Thermocouple Cords with Connectors

With plug-in connectors on both ends, these cords extend the reach of your thermocouple. Made of thermocouple materials, they prevent signal loss.

Choose a cord that matches your thermocouple type. You should also make sure the equipment you're connecting it to is compatible with the same thermocouple type.

Stainless Steel Jacket—These cords are protected by a stainless steel armor that also resists corrosion and wear.

Crush-Resistant USB Cords

The insulation serves as a tough armor that protects these cords in high-traffic areas. These cords have braided and foil shielding, which reduces signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. They’re backward compatible, so they work with cords and connectors that meet the same or lower USB standard.
