What makes Hook-up wires best for different appliances?

A Hook-up wire is a high quality wire that can be used for longer period.  The best thing about these wires is that you can use them for variety of purposes such as home, office, schools, industry, and any other places. These wires are used with the appliances having low electrical energy including meters, computers, and other appliances.

What are the key features?


Following are some of the key features of these wires-

  • These wires come with broad range of insulation materials that provide excellent resistance to temperature, chemicals water, or moisture.
  • These wires come with different types of conductors such as, solid copper conductor, tinned conductor or stranded conductor.
  • The different color insulation on these wires helps in easy circuit specification.
  • These are convenient to use and have excellent uniformity.

What are the characteristics of these high quality wires?
  • Copper strands- these wires are manufactured by using two types of strands i.e. solid cooper strand and thinly woven cooper strand.
  • The solid cooper strand help to give the wire stiff whereas the thinly woven copper strand will make the wire more flexible for the applications.
  • Tin coating- the tin coating helps in making quicker and more secure connection between the wire and the solder.
  • Insulation- the most basic type of insulation used is the PVC insulation. However, if you want to use the wire for a longer period, make sure that the temperature of the wire insulation exceeds the temperature setting it will be placed in.

What are the different types?

There are many different types available in the market. These wires are small in diameter thus are more flexible. The different types of wires are-
  •  Photovoltaic Wire
  •  Ribbon cable
  •  Bus bar

What are the benefits of using these wires?

These wires have number of benefits that makes them suitable for variety of appliances.

  • These wires are very light in weight and can withstand very high temperature. However, such wires are lighter but are quite tougher as compared to any other wire.                                                                                                                            
  • These wires are environment friendly and are safe to use.
  • These wires are available at highly affordable rates and prove to be cost effective alternate to other kinds of wires.
