About Wire and Cable

Stranded

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.

Metric wire is also known as Harmonized European Wire and meets HAR H05V-K for size (mm2), material, and voltage. It can also be used on North American electrical panels and machines.

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.

Metric wire is also known as Harmonized European Wire and meets HAR H07V-K for size (mm²), material, and voltage. It can also be used on North American electrical panels and machines.
