8917 013500 Cables, Wires

Single Conductor Cables (Hook-Up Wire)

The 8917 013500 is classified as a single conductor cable, more commonly known as hook-up wire. Hook-up wire is a form of electrical cable that is used to make electrical connections between components, usually in low voltage and power equipment applications. This type of wire is made up of a solid conductor wire, usually made from a copper or copper alloy, which is encased by various types of insulation, typically rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or thermoplastic insulation.

Hook-up wires are typically used in electronic and electrical equipment, computers, and telecommunications, wiring systems, control panels, machine tools, and other specialty applications. Due to the relatively low voltage and power requirements of these applications, hook-up wire often does not require an additional form of protection, such as a braided outer shield or a jacketed cable.

The 8917 013500 is a solid conductor hook-up wire, with a copper alloy core and a color-coded thermoplastic insulation jacket. It features a temperature rating of 125degrees C, and is UL1521 rated and CSAlisted. It provides an excellent insulation for general electrical use, and can be used in many types of electrical wiring applications, including power and signal applications.

Working Principle

Hook-up wire transmits electricity in a closed circuit. The electricity flows through the copper alloy wire core, which is surrounded by a layer of thermoplastic insulation material. The insulation material helps protect the wire, keeping it safe from damage, as well as helping to route the wire. As the electricity passes through the wire, it meets resistance. The amount of resistance and heat produced depends on the length, size, and type of wire, as well as the applied voltage. The resistance of the wire affects the flow of electricity, potentially slowing it down or preventing it from flowing. As the wire heats up due to the current passing through it, the insulation material helps keep it from overheating.

Application Field

Hook-up wire can be used in a wide variety of applications. These include industrial applications, such as machine tools, control panels, and wiring systems. It is also widely used in electronic and electrical applications in computers, telecommunications, and other related fields. The 8917 013500 wire is an excellent choice for general electrical use, and can be used in low voltage and power applications such as power and signal wiring. It is also UL1521 rated and CSA listed, making it suitable for use in commercial, industrial, and residential applications.
