Ultra Flexible
Temperature Range: 0° to 175° F
Insulation: PVC Plastic

Often used in electronic prototyping or in the interior of computers, this flat cable is ultra flexible with small-gauge wires so it fits in tight spaces. Unlike standard flat control cable, the wires are bonded together without an overall insulation, so they can be easily separated for installation. Cable is flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Wire

Stranded

Solid

Use for panel and equipment (hook-up)
Stranded Wire: Flexible
Solid Wire: Bend and Stay
Temperature Range: -40° to 220° F
Insulation: PVC Plastic

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 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.

Solid wire bends and stays in the position that you bend it. It’s easier to terminate than stranded wire.

Flame rated VW-1 wire meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Stranded Wire: Flexible
Solid Wire: Bend and Stay
Temperature Range: -40° to 220° F
Insulation: PVC Plastic

Keep spools of wire in multiple colors on hand; each assortment includes one spool of each color listed. Mount the included rack (fasteners not included) or use it to transport wire. Also known as hook-up wire, it’s primarily used for wiring electrical panels, lighting, and plant for equipment. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Wire meets UL standards for appliance wiring.

Stranded wire is flexible, so it’s pliable enough to be pulled around corners. Solid wire bends and stays in the position that you bend it. It’s easier to terminate than stranded 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.

Flame rated VW-1 wire meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

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 is flexible, so it’s pliable enough to be pulled around corners. Solid wire bends and stays in the position that you bend it. It’s easier to terminate than stranded wire.

Wire with a nylon outer insulation resists oil and water. TFFN wire is also known as fixture wire. It’s for use in dry locations. THHN wire can be used in dry or damp locations where wire is exposed to condensation or moisture, such as a basement. THWN and THWN-2 wire can be used in both wet and dry environments.

Flame rated VW-1 wire meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
