About Wire and Cable

Audio Equipment Connectors

These connectors are designed for use in audio equipment.

Panel-Mount Audio Equipment Connectors

Connect audio equipment. These connectors mount to panels of any thickness, as long as you drill a mounting hole first.

Audio Equipment Adapters

Extend an audio connection by plugging a cord into each end of these adapters.

Panel-Mount Audio Equipment Adapters

Connect two stereo cords through a panel with these adapters.

USB Adapters

Transmit data between computers, connect two like cables, or connect devices that have different USB sizes or styles.

Barrel-Style DC Connectors

Made with industry standard barrel-style ends, these connectors carry DC power between electronic devices and power supplies.

Data, Audio, and Video Cords

Audio Equipment Cords

Connect audio to a single speaker, or extend the distance between stereo audio devices.

Audio Equipment Cord Splitters

Play audio from one source on two different speakers.

Video Monitor Splitters

Display video from one source on two different monitors.

Video Monitor Cords

Transmit video to a single monitor.

Coaxial Cords

Transmit audio, video, and data signals over long distances with minimal signal loss.

Cable

Riser-Rated Communication and Security System Cable

This cable is approved for use in vertical shafts and large facilities with multiple levels. It's often used for low-current circuits such as intercoms and security systems.

Riser-Rated Fire Alarm Cable

This cable is approved for use in vertical shafts and large facilities with mulitple levels for critical circuits such as fire alarms and smoke detectors.

Low-Voltage Cable

Rated to 12 volts DC, this cable is often used in low-voltage applications such as battery and vehicle wiring and radios. Also known as GPT cable.

Communication and Security System Cable

Connect low-current circuits such as intercoms and security systems to a building's electrical system in single-level facilities.

Coiled Communication Cable

After extending to full length to provide added reach, this cable retracts and self-coils for tangle-free storage. It's often used with low-current circuits such as microphones and headsets.

Duct-Rated Communication and Security System Cable

Also known as plenum cable, this cable has low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in ductwork and above a drop ceiling. Use it in low-current circuits such as intercoms and security systems.

Coaxial Cable

Often used in radio transmission, network connections, and digital audio feed, this cable transmits audio, video, and data signals.

Duct-Rated Coaxial Cable

Also known as plenum cable, this cable has low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in ductwork and above a drop ceiling. Use it to transmit audio, video, and data signals.

Audio Cable

Hook up speakers, intercoms, and other low-current devices to a building's communication wiring.

Duct-Rated Fire Alarm Cable

Also known as plenum cable, this cable has low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in ductwork and above a drop ceiling. Use in critical circuits such as fire alarms and smoke detectors.
