About Wire and Cable
More
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.
SC wire is a good choice for temporary setups powering outdoor lights, equipment, generators, and power distribution boxes, since its thick insulation makes it easy to move and reuse. Commonly found at outdoor events, it’s also known as stage cable.
All are flame rated, so they meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test. FT5 wire is suspended horizontally during testing.

- Use for outdoors, buildings, power supply
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -55° to 220° F
- Insulation: EPDM Rubber

High-Current Pin-and-Sleeve Cords

Send power from generators to keep the lights on and equipment running. These cords are often used to convey temporary power during outages or at trade shows and mobile job sites. Able to send currents above 250A, they’re commonly connected to power distribution panels and transfer switches. Push and twist to lock them in place, where they remain secure against high current loads, vibration, and pulling. They don’t require tools to connect or disconnect, making them convenient for short-term setups.
For outdoor use, these cords are rated NEMA 3R for protection from rain, snow, and sleet. They also resist sunlight, oil, and chemicals.

Fiber-Optic Cords
Connect computers, servers, and switches in a fiber-optic network.
Single-mode cords are good for long distances and often used between buildings.
Multimode cords are often used for shorter runs within buildings. OM1 cords support 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up to 33 meters. They are used for Local Area Networks (LAN).
OFNR (optical fiber nonconductive riser) cords prevent the spread of fire from floor to floor within buildings. Use them in vertical spaces, such as shafts, between floors. They cannot be installed in plenum areas. These cords are corrosion resistant. They release heavy black smoke, hydrochloric acid, and other toxic gases when they burn.
Cords with SC connections have push-pull connectors that lock in place with a tab.

Panel-Mount Fiber Optic Adapters


Connect two fiber-optic cords that have the same gender and connection type. These adapters mount to panels of any thickness, as long as you drill a mounting hole first.
Protect adapters when not in use by covering them with caps (sold separately). Caps are tethered, so you can open them in any direction to access adapters from any angle.
