    Deliver precise signals through compact areas. This cable is ideal for continuous motion in small, automated equipment, such as the micro gantry in a 3D printer. It will last for millions of flex cycles while reliably transmitting signals. 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.

    Thin-Insulation Lead Wire

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lead Wire. Thin-Insulation Lead Wire.
    Nearly half the diameter and up to 40% lighter than standard wire of the same gauge and voltage, this wire fits in tight spaces. Also known as hook-up wire, it’s good for wiring electrical panels and plant floor equipment, or can be used as an alternative to building wire. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames, based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

    Space-Saving Control Cable

    This cable is about two-thirds the diameter of other control cables of the same gauge, so you can fit more cables into the same footprint. The mPPE (modified polyphenylene ether) outer jacket is half the weight of other materials, but still abrasion and tear resistant. This cable controls, monitors, and regulates stationary equipment such as sensors and PLCs. You can flex and bend it 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.
    Double Shielded—With two layers of shielding, this cable offers better protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) than single-shielded cable. It’s often used near transformers, generators, and heavy-duty motors that may have voltage fluctuations and current spikes that distort signals.

    With a slim PFA plastic insulation, this wire has the same heat resistance as standard high-temperature wire but its diameter is one-third the size for use in tight spaces. It withstands water, sunlight, and chemicals, making it good for use in oil and gas applications. It’s also known as hook-up wire.

    Space-Saving Continuous-Flex Control Cable

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Control Cable. Space-Saving Continuous-Flex Control Cable.
    Cut congestion in crowded cable carriers that are always moving. This cable is one-third the diameter of other control cables of the same gauge, letting you fit more into the same footprint. Its slim profile comes from mPPE (modified polyphenylene ether) insulation, which is nearly half the weight of other insulation materials. Its finely stranded conductors are twisted together like a rope to resist wear from constant bending. The rugged jacket protects the cable from wear and tear and exposure to chemicals, oil, and moisture. Altogether, this cable endures millions of flex cycles while maintaining reliable signals.
    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.
