Machine Tool Wire

- Use for panel and equipment (hook-up)
- Flexibility: See table
- Temperature Range:
600V AC Stranded Wire: 0° to 190° F
600V AC/600V DC Stranded Wire: -40° to 190° F
600V AC/600V DC Metric Stranded Wire: -40° to 220° F - Insulation: PVC Plastic
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.
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.

- Use for panel and equipment (hook-up)
- Ultra Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 300° F
High-Temperature Wire

- Use for ovens and furnaces
- Fiberglass Fabric Outer Insulation: Flexible
Ceramic Fabric Outer Insulation: Bend and Stay - Temperature Range: See table
Even at 480° F—hotter than some industrial ovens—this wire’s insulation won’t melt.
Wire with a ceramic fabric outer insulation withstands the hottest temperatures of our offering, so you can safely run it near open flames. It’s flame rated VW-1 to prevent the spread of fire. This wire won’t become brittle or crack from chemicals. Bend it and it stays in place.
High-Voltage Wire

- Use for panel and equipment (hook-up)
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 300° F
- Insulation: Silicone Rubber
Use this wire in high-voltage applications, such as in high-power signs and lasers. It’s also known as corona-resistant hook-up wire. Made of silicone rubber, the insulation resists abrasion. 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 Cable
The insulation on this cable withstands high-heat applications such as ovens and furnaces. The wires are silver or nickel plated for corrosion resistance.
Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has PTFE outer and inner insulation that resists chemicals, oil, abrasion, and moisture.

- Use For: Ovens and Furnaces, Interference Shielding
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -65° to 390° F
- Insulation: PTFE Plastic

Abrasion-Resistant Cable

- Use For:
Unshielded: Motors, Power Supply
Shielded: Motors, Power Supply, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Temperature Range: -20° to 190° F
- Insulation:
Outer: Polyurethane Rubber
Inner: PVC Plastic
A thick insulation resists cuts and abrasion, so this cable can be pulled over rough surfaces without damaging the wires inside. Made of polyurethane rubber, the insulation also resists chemicals, moisture, oil, solvents, and water. It’s 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.
Riser-Rated Communication and Security System Cable

- Use For:
Unshielded: Buildings
Shielded: Buildings, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Temperature Range: 0° to 140° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
This cable is designated CL3R and CMR, so it has flame-resistant insulation and is approved for use in low-current circuits in vertical shafts and large facilities with multiple levels. It’s often used in intercoms, speakers, and security systems.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.

Unshielded: Buildings
Shielded: Buildings, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Temperature Range: 0° to 165° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Also known as plenum cable, this cable is designated CL3P and CMP, so it has flame-resistant, low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in duct work and above a drop ceiling. Use it in low-current circuits such as intercoms, speakers, and security systems.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
Thermostat Cable
