Everything You Need
to Hook Up Anything
your needs for temperature,
• UL, CSA, and mil-spec
compliance
he broad range of hook-up
wire from Alpha Wire means
you will find the wire exactly
suited to your application—
whether it’s as straightforward
as a control cabinet in a
protected environment or as
specialized as a machine tool
on the factory floor, a high-
temperature oven, or off-road
construction equipment. Our
hook-up wire is available in a
variety of insulation to meet
ability to withstand wear and
abrasion, electrical properties,
and resistance to oil, solvents,
and chemicals.
