![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/645/6450t281-@halfx_636699311326430000.png?ver=imagenotfound)
- Use for buildings, motors, panel and equipment (hook-up)
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 220° F
- Insulation: Modified Polyphenylene Ether (mPPE) Plastic
Nearly half the diameter and up to 40% lighter than standard wire of the same gauge and voltage, this wire fits in tight spaces. Also known as hook-up wire, it’s good for wiring electrical panels and plant floor equipment, or can be used as an alternative to building wire. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames, based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

High-Temperature Thin-Insulation Wire
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/629/6291n12-@halfx_55vu8_1719937815.png?ver=imagenotfound)
- Use for ovens, furnaces, panel and equipment (hook-up),
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -235° to 570° F
- Insulation: PFA Plastic
With a slim PFA plastic insulation, this wire has the same heat resistance as standard high-temperature wire but its diameter is one-third the size for use in tight spaces. It withstands water, sunlight, and chemicals, making it good for use in oil and gas applications. It’s also known as hook-up wire.

![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/665/6650t27-@halfx_636697821300306105.png?ver=imagenotfound)
- Use For:
Unshielded: Automation
Double Shielded: Automation, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 220° F
- Insulation: Modified Polyphenylene Ether (mPPE) Plastic
Nearly two-thirds the diameter of standard control cable, this cable fits in tight spaces. The modified polyphenylene ether (mPPE) insulation is less than half the weight of the PVC insulation found on standard control cable, yet is more abrasion and cut resistant. Use it to send signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment that requires cable to periodically flex and bend. It’s often used with conveyors, CNC machines, and to connect equipment to a control panel. Cable is flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
Double shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding that provides excellent protection against signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

- Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion
- Continuous Flex
- Temperature Range: -40° to 175° F
- Insulation:
Outer: Polyurethane Rubber
Inner: Modified Polyphenylene Ether (mPPE) Plastic
For use in tight spaces, this cable has up to a 40% smaller OD than standard continuous-flex cable so it fits in tight spaces. The inner insulation is modified polyphenylene ether (mPPE), making the cable nearly half the weight of standard continuous-flex cable. Often used in automated applications such as robotics and cable carriers, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.
Bend radius is the point to which the cable will bend without being damaged. It is measured from the center of the bend to the edge of the cable. The smaller the measurement, the tighter the bend.

- Use For: Automation, Interference Shielding, Continuous Motion
- Continuous Flex
- Temperature Range: -40° to 220° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Often used in computers, small electronics, and electronic prototyping, this cable is very flexible with small gauge wire to handle tight curves in narrow spaces. It withstands continuous motion, so it’s also commonly used around heavy vibration and in automated tasks, including robotics. A braid shield blocks interference from nearby equipment.
