About Wire and Cable

About Industry Designation for Cable Insulation

Cable

Use this general purpose cable to supply power to equipment.

Coiled 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 hand tools and other portable devices.

High-Voltage Cable

Often used in mining equipment, submersible pumps, and drilling rigs, this cable withstands 2,000 volts AC/DC.

Direct-Burial Cable

Weather-resistant insulation makes this cable suitable for outdoor use and direct burial without conduit.

Drop-Down Cable

Often used to wire pendant switches, this cable hangs from an overhead connection. Also known as bus drop cable.

Pump Cable

Supply power to submersible pumps in water or oil wells.

Water-Block Control Cable

Keep water from damaging wires—this cable has a layer of absorbent material that traps moisture before it reaches the internal wires. It sends signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment.

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.

Building Cable

Rated for in-wall installation, this cable carries power to wall outlets. Also known as branch circuit wire.

Flame-Resistant Welding Cable

Approved for flame resistance, this cable meets Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) standards. The insulation resists abrasion and chemicals.

Outdoor Wire

The EPDM insulation on this wire won’t become brittle or crack from sunlight, humidity, rain, temperature changes, abrasion from dirt and debris, and other rough outdoor conditions.

UV-Resistant Wire

Also known as photovoltaic (PV) wire, this wire won’t deteriorate from UV light when used outdoors. It’s often used in solar panels.
