Description
Southwire 22979906 Stranded Copper Wire Building Wire: Copper, 10 AWG, 1 Conductors, Stranded, Orange, 2,500 ft Lg, THHN
Copper THHN/THWN building wires are insulated general-use cables for lighting and other low-voltage applications. They are more flexible than other cable types, allowing them to fit into tighter spaces and be used for moving parts or equipment. They feature a durable nylon sheath within their PVC insulation that helps protect them against moisture, abrasion, and chemical exposure. It’s rated to handle 600V and can be used in dry locations up to 194°F or wet locations up to 167°F.
THHN (thermoplastic high-heat-resistant nylon-coated) cable is electrical wiring designed for many applications that require durability and heat resistance up to 600V. It features PVC insulation and a nylon jacket that improves flexibility and abrasion resistance. It’s commonly used for indoor and outdoor power distribution in buildings and construction.
Copper conductors are flexible “hot” wires carrying power distribution systems’ current. They are heavier than aluminum wires but can handle higher current loads for the same size of wire.
Stranded core cables consist of multiple individual wires twisted together and encased by an external layer of insulation.
Spool packaging is a cylinder with cabling wrapped tightly around it to minimize the space it takes up. The spool can be placed in a stand or mount, allowing it to spin freely and dispense large cable lengths quickly. They are typically smaller than reels and made from lighter materials to make handling and transport easier.
