    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.

    Communication and Security System Cable

    Often used for intercoms, speakers, and security systems, this cable is designated as CM and CL2 or CMG, so the insulation is flame resistant and approved for in-wall installation in single-level facilities.
    Shielded Stranded Wire
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Security Cable. Communication and Security System Cable, Shielded.
    Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has an uninsulated ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.

    Twisted-Pair Low-Capacitance Control Cable

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Control Cable. Twisted-Pair Low-Capacitance Control Cable.
    A dynamic duo inside this cable protects signal integrity over long distances, even up to hundreds of feet across your facility. Twisted-pair conductors block internal and external signal interference. Plus, polyethylene insulation limits capacitance, preventing the energy buildup that degrades signals over long runs. This cable is often used with equipment such as sensors and PLCs. You can flex and bend it during installation and adjustments, but it’s not made for continuous motion.
    Double Shielded—With two layers of shielding, this cable offers better protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) than single-shielded cable. It’s often used near transformers, generators, and heavy-duty motors that may have voltage fluctuations and current spikes that distort signals.

    Moisture-Resistant Control Cable

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Control Cable. Moisture-Resistant Control Cable.
    Safely wire control circuits in wet locations such as washdown areas. A water-blocking fiber tape under the jacket of this cable prevents swelling and protects your connection. Use this cable to control, monitor, and regulate stationary equipment such as sensors and PLCs. You can flex and bend this cable during installation and adjustments, but it isn't made for continuous motion.
    Unshielded—Choose unshielded wires when electromagnetic interference (EMI) isn't a concern. Equipment such as motors and pumps may have voltage fluctuations and current spikes that distort signals.
