    About Wire and Cable
    industrial info icon

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

    Lead Wire

    Also known as hook-up wire, this wire is primarily used for wiring electrical panels, lighting, and plant floor equipment. It meets UL 1007, UL 1015, or UL 1569 for appliance wiring.
    Stranded Wire—300V AC
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Stranded Wire. Lead Wire.
    Stranded wire is flexible, so it’s pliable enough to be pulled around corners. The strand count is the number of strands followed by the size of the individual strand. The higher the number of strands, the more flexible the wire.
    UL 2556 VW-1—Flame rated VW-1 wire meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

    Machine Tool Wire

    More flexible than standard wire, this wire is often used for internal appliance wiring. The strand count is the number of strands followed by the size of the individual strand. The higher the number of strands, the more flexible the wire. Also known as MTW wire, it’s rated UL 1063 for machine tool wiring.
