About Wire and Cable

Use for ovens and furnaces
Fiberglass Fabric Outer Insulation: Flexible
Ceramic Fabric Outer Insulation: Bend and Stay
Temperature Range: See table

Even at 480° F—hotter than some industrial ovens—this wire’s insulation won’t melt.

Wire with a fiberglass outer and mica inner insulation is the common choice for steel mills, iron mills, and glass manufacturing. You may know it as MG wire. Wire with a silicone-coated outer insulation shields your skin from fiberglass particles when handling the wire.

Wire with a ceramic fabric outer insulation withstands the hottest temperatures of our offering, so you can safely run it near open flames. It’s flame rated VW-1 to prevent the spread of fire. This wire won’t become brittle or crack from chemicals. Bend it and it stays in place.

Abrasion-Resistant Wire

Run power over rough surfaces—this wire has thick insulation that stands up to wear and tear. It’s flame rated, which means it meets requirements for preventing the spread of fire. Also known as hook-up wire.

Wire with silicone rubber insulation is the most flexible wire we offer. It bends easily around tight turns without cracking.

Wire with braided aramid fiber outer and silicone rubber inner insulation is best for your most rugged applications, such as wiring inside a motor. Its outer layer protects the wire if it’s cut or struck. Meanwhile, its inner layer makes it flexible enough to bend in tight spots. It’s also known as silicone rubber motor lead (SRML) wire.

High-Temperature Cable

The insulation on this cable withstands high-heat applications such as ovens and furnaces. The wires are silver or nickel plated for corrosion resistance.

Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern. It has a layer of fiberglass fabric and mica tape around each wire. The entire cable is wrapped in a layer of fiberglass fabric and mica tape, and then covered in PTFE. The PTFE outer insulation resists chemicals, oil, abrasion, and moisture.

Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has PTFE outer and inner insulation that resists chemicals, oil, abrasion, and moisture.

High-Temperature Continuous-Flex Cable

Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion, Ovens and Furnaces
Continuous Flex
Temperature Range: -10° to 350° F
Insulation:
Outer: Silicone Rubber
Inner: FEP Plastic

Bend and flex this silicone-insulated cable in temperatures up to 350° F. It can keep moving in areas twice as hot as most other continuous-flex cables without degrading data or signal transmission. It’s often used inside cable carriers in feeding lines for blast furnaces or in automated welding and cutting systems. This cable resists abrasion and won’t break down from exposure to chemicals and UV light. It meets IEC standards for flame retardance.

Bend radius is the point to which the cable will bend without being damaged. It is measured from the center of the bend to the edge of the cable. The smaller the measurement, the tighter the bend.
