Single Conductor Cables (Hook-Up Wire)

Hook-up wire is a single-conductor cable used mainly in industrial applications for connecting electrical equipment. It is generally smaller in diameter and is used in applications where durability is not a primary concern. It is usually composed of solid or stranded electrical wires often insulated with PVC, neoprene, rubber, or other thermoplastic.

2671/28GN-1000 is one type of hook-up wire, which is manufactured from stranded soft annealed copper for general purpose applications. This type of hook-up wire is suitable for use in marine, mobile and industrial applications. This wiring operates at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 105°C and meet the requirements of CSA, UL, and NEMA standards.

Application Field and Working Principle

2671/28GN-1000 hook-up wire is primarily used in residential and commercial wiring applications, especially marine environments where salt water can corrode non-metallic wiring. This hook-up wire can be used for marine applications, motor connections, and transformer applications, as it is highly resistant to heat, oil, gasoline, water and other liquids. It is also suitable for hard-to-reach applications like in walls, attics, and underground.

The working principle of 2671/28GN-1000 hook-up wire relies on the principle of conduction. Conduction is the process of electricity transferring through a conductor, such as the copper strands of wire insulation in 2671/28GN-1000. The conduction of electricity occurs through a series of tiny electrical paths between the individual copper strands in the wire insulation. Voltage applied to the hook-up wire causes current to flow through each copper strand in the insulation and to create an electrical path.

Benefits

The major benefits of 2671/28GN-1000 hook-up wire include:

• It is lightweight and flexible.
• It is resistant to abrasion and chemicals.
• It is flame retardant and has a low smoke density.
• It is highly conductive.
• It is available in many colors and lengths.

Conclusion

2671/28GN-1000 hook-up wire is a type of single-conductor cable used mainly in industrial applications for connecting electrical equipment. It is primarily used in residential and commercial wiring applications and works on the principle of conduction, making it suitable for many applications. The major benefits of this hook-up wire are its lightweight and flexibility, abrasion and chemical resistance, flame retardancy, low smoke density, conductivity, and availability.
