Low-Voltage Cable
- Use For: Appliances, Vehicles
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 175° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Also known as GPT cable, this cable is often used in low-voltage applications such as battery and vehicle wiring and radios. It has one red wire and one black wire to easily identify polarity. The wires can be pulled apart for installation.
High-Voltage Cable
- Use For: Power Supply, Outdoors
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 190° F
- Insulation: EPDM Rubber
Often used in mining equipment, submersible pumps, and drilling rigs, this cable withstands 2,000 volts AC/DC. The EPDM insulation resists abrasion, so it can be pulled over rough surfaces without damaging the wires inside.
Power Cords
Connect equipment and devices to a power supply.
Cords with a NEMA 14-30 or 14-50 plug are often used to power electric vehicles. They have a high current rating.
Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.
SRDT cords are for use with high-current equipment, such as ranges and dryers.
