Industrial Control Cable

Industrial Control Wire — Control Panel & Equipment Internal Wiring

This category covers the UL Recognized AWM hook-up wire styles CableApex supplies for control panel wiring and the internal control circuits of industrial equipment. These are single-conductor appliance wiring material (AWM) styles used for point-to-point internal connections — between terminal blocks, PLC and relay terminals, switches, contactors, and motor terminals — rather than multi-core or pre-assembled control cables. Selection is driven by the circuit voltage, the temperature at the routing location, the insulation material, conductor size, and the flexibility needed for dressing the wire inside the panel.

For the full style index see the AWM Wire category. The sections below map common control-wiring requirements to the relevant styles.

Low-Voltage Control Circuits — 300V

For 24V DC control signals, 120V AC control logic, and low-current contactor and indicator wiring, UL 1007 (80°C / 300V PVC) is the standard hook-up style. Its 600V peak electronic-use designation also covers control circuits with transient voltages above the 300V continuous rating. See PVC Wire for the range.

600V Control Panel Power Wiring

For 600V internal power distribution inside control panels — main switch to terminal, fuse to transformer primary, and motor terminal connections — UL 1015 (up to 105°C / 600V PVC) is the standard. Where the panel handles higher system voltages, UL 10269 extends the same PVC construction to 1000V.

Higher-Temperature Control Wiring

Where panel internal temperatures exceed the limit of PVC — cabinets mounted near heat sources, or motor control wiring at elevated winding temperatures — crosslinked polyethylene provides a non-softening upgrade. UL 3271 (125°C / 600V) and UL 3321 (150°C / 600V) cover these conditions. See XLPE Wire for the range.

High-Temperature Motor and Heater Control Leads

For control leads routed near heating elements or inside totally enclosed high-temperature equipment, silicone rubber styles provide 200°C continuous service. See Silicone Wire for bare and braided constructions suited to enclosed and abrasion-exposed routing.

Selecting Control Wire

The correct control wire is determined by matching five parameters to the panel or equipment: the circuit voltage (300V, 600V, or 1000V), the maximum continuous temperature at the routing location, the insulation material, the conductor size and stranding (stranded conductors dress more easily in tight panels), and any compliance requirement set by the end-equipment standard.

Request a Quotation

To receive a quotation, provide the circuit voltage, the operating temperature at the wire, the AWG size, the insulation material (or let us recommend one), conductor finish, colour, quantity, and a brief description of the application. Quotations are returned within 24 hours, and mixed-style or mixed-AWG orders are accepted on a single shipment.
