About Wire and Cable

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

Building Wire

Install this copper wire in conduit and cable trays in commercial and industrial buildings. It's also known as branch circuit wire. The outer jacket is designed to be installed without applying pulling lubricant.

Stranded Wire with Polyethylene Outer Jacket

XHHW-2 Cable

Stranded wire is flexible, so it’s pliable enough to be pulled around corners.

Wire with a polyethylene outer jacket resists abrasion and chemicals. It’s more flexible than nylon insulated wire.

XHHW-2 Cable—XHHW-2 wire is for dry and wet locations where wire may be exposed to dripping or splashing liquid.

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, XHHW-2 Stranded Wire

Cable with XHHW-2 wire has a PVC outer jacket over the aluminum armor. You can use it in wet environments where liquid might drip and splash on it. It can also be used for direct burial without a conduit.
