Hook-Up Wire
T
he broad range of hook-up
wire from Alpha means you
will find the product 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 insulations to meet your
needs for temperature, ability to
withstand wear and abrasion, elec-
trical performance, or resistance to
oil, solvents, and chemicals.
• Stranded and solid copper
conductors, bare or tinned, with
other platings available for
special application needs
• Broad range of insulations
• Color-coded insulation for easy
circuit identification
• UL, CSA, and Mil-spec
compliance
• Convenient put-ups as short as
100 feet
• Excellent uniformity and
low-fray design for easy handling,
stripping, and termination
