Cables Used for Industrial Applications

cables for industrial applications

Industrial applications can differ and hence, require various wiring criteria. But industrial cables share some common properties, too — they need to have good resistance to heat, chemicals and mechanical damage. So what are the best industrial cables?

1. Tray cables

Tray wires are resistant to sunlight and can be installed for both light and heavy industrial applications, like cable trays, raceways, control systems, power, lighting and communication networks. You can use our Tray Cables for outdoor and indoor applications, in wet and dry conditions.

2. Hook-up wire

Hook-up cables can be used for low-voltage and low-current applications. Rated at 600V with varying temperature ratings, Hook-Up Wire is most often used in ovens, electronic equipment, meters, automotive industry and control panels.

3. PoC cables for Welding

Power over Coaxial (PoC) wires withstand the damage from welding sparks and perform extremely well in high (up to 150°C) operating temperatures. Therefore, this is the right cable choice for weld cells, including hot welding slags, automotive and steel industries. Check out our Welding Cable collection to find the welding wire you need.

4. Type G wires

The type G portable mining cable is the best fit for power supply in mining applications because it can perform well even in the most challenging conditions. Our Type G Cables can be used in mining or other power supply applications below 2kV.

5. Type W wires

Type W copper wires are strong and resistant to various irritants like oils, water, liquid chemicals and sunlight. Our Type W Cables are great for heavy-duty applications because of their flexibility and endurance. The voltage capacity of 2kV allows you to use the cable for any power circuit rated at this voltage or lower.

6. High-temperature wire

High-temperature cables have a temperature rating of 90°C or above, or 125°C and above in some cases. These can also work well in abrasive conditions, which makes High-Temperature Wires a good fit for use in stoves, furnaces and electric heating equipment.

7. ​​DLO cables

DLO (diesel locomotive) wires are used for power transmission within diesel engines rated at 2kV. While the most common engines that run on diesel are used in cars, some other applications of DLO Wires for the engines can be for wind turbines, cars, train wagons and industrial machines.

Which industrial cable to choose?

Of course, your choice of Industrial Wire & Cable depends on the target application. The cable's features should include significant resistance and endurance capabilities in harsh environments. If you're looking for assistance in choosing wires for any industrial application, contact our team to get a consultation.
