About Wire and Cable

Use for ovens and furnaces, panel and equipment (hook-up)
Wire with FEP Plastic Insulation: Flexible
Wire with Silicone Rubber Insulation: Ultra Flexible
Temperature Range:
Wire with FEP Plastic Insulation: -239° to 390° F
Wire with Silicone Rubber Insulation: -100° to 400° F

Rated to 50 volts AC/DC, this wire is often used in small electronics and robotics. It’s also known as hook-up wire.

Wire with FEP insulation is chemical resistant.

Wire with silicone rubber insulation is ultra-flexible for use in applications that require tight turns. It also withstands moisture.

Silver-plated wire is stronger and more corrosion resistant than bare wire.
