About Wire and Cable

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

Power Cable

Built for rough handling and frequent positioning, this cable delivers power you can count on. Use it for everything from extension cords to cords for hydraulic presses. Made to NEC Article 400 requirements, you can trust it to power whatever you need. Plus, the flexible jacket takes the struggle out of routing it through tight spaces and around machinery.

Vehicle Cable

Also known as GPT cable, this cable is often used in low-voltage applications such as battery and vehicle wiring and radios. It has one red wire and one black wire to easily identify polarity. The wires can be pulled apart for installation.

Building Cable


THHN Cable NM-B Cable	UF-B Cable THHN Cable

Rated for in-wall installation, this cable carries power to wall outlets. Also known as branch circuit wire, it can be used without conduit. It has solid THHN building wires, so the cable will stay in the shape you bend it. The uninsulated ground wire is not counted in the number of wires.

NM-B Cable—NM-B cable is for dry locations where moisture is not a concern, and often run through walls, ceilings, and concrete blocks.

UF-B Cable—UF-B cable is for wet locations where cable may be exposed to moisture or humidity. It's often used as underground feeder cable for pumps and lighting. The insulation resists moisture and UV light.

High-Temperature Power Cable

Unshielded

When others can't take the heat, this cable delivers power in ovens, furnaces, steel mills, and foundries. The PTFE jacket won't degrade and weaken as temperatures rise. It also resists abrasion, chemicals, oil, and moisture.

Fiberglass Fabric over PTFE and Mica Tape—A layer of mica tape, naturally heat resistant and electrically insulating, delivers superior protection against high temperatures.

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.

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.

Building Cable Strippers

Remove the outer and inner insulation of NM-B building cable, commonly found inside your walls running power to light fixtures and switches. These strippers have a plier nose, which is useful for pulling and looping wire.

Stainless Steel—Stainless steel strippers resist corrosion and won't rust as quickly as strippers with steel blades when stored. They're best for less frequent use because their blades dull more quickly than steel blades.
