Hook-up wire, also known as single conductor cables, are insulated electrical cables composed of a solid single-strand conductor housed in a polymeric insulation. Hook-up wire of various insulation types, constructions, colors, and sizes are widely available in today’s market. Although its basic function is to provide electrical continuity, hook-up wire also offers reliable performance and electrical protection in a wide range of temperatures, typical applications include temperature sensing, motor lead connections, protection circuit wiring, and interconnects for electronics of all sorts.

CRT18-2BK-100 is a single-conductor hook-up cable which meets the UL standard 758 and CSA-C22.2. The cable is designed with 2 conductor strands composed of 20 gauge tinned copper in a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) insulation that is CSA AWM, rated 105°C. The cable is rated 600 Volts and has a nominal thickness of 0.040 inches. The black and white color-coded PVC insulation has been treated with a flame retardant to ensure compliance with UL standard UL 758, VW-1 flame tests.

CRT18-2BK-100 is suitable for internal wiring of electronic equipment, appliances, and electronic control systems. The cable allows for flexibility, time-savings, and labor-efficiency in its applications. Some typical application areas include in and around military aircraft, automobiles, boats, trucks, buildings, and medical equipment.

Working principle

Hook-up wire’s single conductor makes installation and repair easier as the wire does not need to be stripped, untwisted, and connected as the same way as multiple conductor wire. Due to its solid conductor, hook-up wire can be twisted more tightly, which makes it suitable for connection application in compact, restricted spaces.Compared with multiple-conductor wire, its larger gauge offers less resistance, resulting in better power transmission and voltage stability.

Additionally, the solid tinned copper conductor is corrosion resistant which maximizes its potential for a longer life cycle within harsh environments. The flame retardant polymeric insulation withstanding temperatures up to 105°C protects the cable from external stresses such as moisture, heat, and chemicals. With its color coding, it offers easier installation and maintenance.

Conclusion

Hook-up wire’s combination of strength, flexibility, and durability make CRT18-2BK-100 an ideal choice for highly-sophisticated single conductor applications. Its reliable performance and electrical protection make it suitable for installation in a wide range of applications, from automotive to medical.
