Single conductor cables are used in a variety of industrial, telecommunications, and other applications where the need for one or more electrical conductors is necessary. Hook-up wire, or UL1007 wire, is a common type of single conductor cable used for low-voltage wiring requirements in a variety of electrical needs. The UL1007 wire, type BL013, is a common type of single conductor cable and is often used in industrial and medical applications, as well as home security and automation systems. The BL013 wire is also used in electronic hardware, electrical appliance production, and a variety of other electrical needs.

The BL013 hook-up wire is made of a solid, single-strand of copper insulated by PVC material. The insulation material offers protection from abrasion, tearing, and other external forces, making this wire type suitable for general purpose and industrial wiring. The copper conductor wire is sold in spools, making it suitable for wiring needs where large quantities are necessary. Because of its single-strand design, the BL013 wire has a high resistance to twisting and tearing. This makes the wire suitable for tight spaces, as it can be easily flexed into tight spaces without the risk of damage to the conductors.

The maximum temperature rating for BL013 wire is 80°C (176°F) for general purpose applications, and it is rated for up to 105°C (221°F) for continuous exposure. The wire type is UL-recognized, meaning that it meets the safety standards defined by the organization. This provides extra assurance that the wire is free from potential defects in materials that could lead to electrical components malfunctioning. The UL1007 rated wire is also CSA approved for use in Canadian installations.

The common resistance values of BL013 wire fall in the range of 18.3-27.6 Ω/1000ft for the 20 AWG size. The application for BL013 wire includes power and control installations in wet and dry locations, to connect components such as motors and transformers. It can also be used for single-conductor circuit control wiring as well as data transmission wiring. Examples of residential applications include thermostats, doorbells, switches, and other automated systems.

When it comes to installation, the BL013 hook-up wire can be applied using the same methods and techniques used for other single conductor cable types. This includes securing the wire with wire ties, conduit benders and supports, and cable clamps. For typical residential applications, it is recommended to use short runs of the wire, and to use longer spans of the wire for industrial and commercial applications. Additionally, some protective measures should be taken to ensure the safety of the wiring system and reduce the risk of electric shock and damage from other factors.

Overall, the BL013 type of wire is a well-constructed single conductor cable that is suitable for use in a wide variety of applications. It is UL recognized for safety and offers the durability and flexibility necessary for tight spaces. This makes the BL013 wire an ideal solution for industrial and residential wiring requirements in both wet and dry locations.
