Variety is not just the spice of life, it is the essence that allows retailers and other businesses to offer what their potential customers actually need.
That being the case, a wholesaler is a necessary intermediary between a retailer and a manufacturer, and wholesalers then must offer this variety.
To offer a little exposition, if you’re in the market for a new electrical wire wholesale provider, here’s some of the variety they should offer, in the form of specialty electrical wire and cable.
Building Wire
Residential building wire is used to provide electrical service to homes and businesses, and sometimes other commercial venues. It is often rated to 600 volts and is used for powering lights and small appliances.
Bare Copper Wire
Bare copper wire is most often used as a ground, in which case it is intended to carry current only in an emergency, such as during a voltage spike. Using uninsulated wire saves money.
Marine Battery Wire
Marine battery wire is a special type of battery wire made of very finely-stranded, individually-tinned conductors. The fine-stranding and high conductor count increase flexibility and the tinning hedges against corrosion.
Solar Panel Cable
Solar panel cable, also known as photovoltaic cable, is a special type of cable used to wire solar panel systems. It must be UV resistant and highly weather resistant to be appropriate for such an application.
Flexible Welding Cable
Welding cable, like marine battery cable, must be highly flexible to be suitable for its intended application. Typically it is made from many finely stranded conductors and has a high conductor count. It also is made with abrasion and chemical resistant insulation.
Aluminum Wire
Aluminum wire is used for a wide range of applications, including as triplex and quadruplex cable. It is also preferable to copper in some instances because it is lightweight and affordable.
Armored Cable
Armored cable is a type of (usually high voltage) cable that is also usually protected under a common sheath, and which is protected by an interlocking steel sheath. It is often used in agriculture and industrial applications, like mining.
DLO Cable
DLO cable is used on diesel locomotives to power the engines. It is typically a very high-voltage cable.
Submersible Pump Cable
Submersible pump cable does just what the name implies; it is a submersible cable used to power pumps. As a result it is commonly used for power distribution to well pumps, though it can also be used for other applications.
Triplex and Quadruplex Wire
Triplex and quadruplex wire, which are commonly made from aluminum, are often used for power service entry to buildings, including homes and small businesses. Depending on the rating, they may be approved either for aerial installation or for direct burial.
Instrumentation and Alarm Cable
Instrumentation and alarm cable, such as surveillance, security, and fire alarm cable, are low-voltage cables, typically of a very high-gauge, that are used for powering, monitoring and controlling the nodes on a security circuit.
Direct Burial Wire
Direct burial wire can be used for a wide variety of applications, such as power service entry, but the main factor is that it is approved for direct burial.
Tray Cable
Tray cable is cable that is rated to be used in cable trays, as opposed to in conduit. Like direct burial cable, it can be used for a wide range of applications.
