RS PRO Red 0.52 mm² Equipment Wire, 20 AWG, 16/0.2 mm, 500m, PVC Insulation

These wires are intended for internal wiring applications in electrical and electronic equipment, they meet the requirements of IEC 189-3. The high-quality inner conductor defines the flexibility and conductivity of the wire. Tin used in conjunction with copper boosts the coppers properties and helps the wire to last much longer and counter acts against oxidation. Tin also helps to strengthen the copper wire, making it more resistant to breakage.

Stranded tinned copper guarantee extra flexibility and ease of installation

Hook up wire, or copper wire/equipment wire as it's also called is primarily used for low voltage and current applications. Copper strands are sheathed by a cover (usually PVC) and act as the conductor of electricity to power its target. Frequently found within everyday household and workplace appliances, hook up wire is a common occurrence. If a device has multiple wires to operate, hook up wire will usually be installed with different sheath colours on their respective terminals. This is to avoid the confusion of a "spaghetti junction" of wires.

Wires are designed to be used in indoor systems, however, the wide temperature operation resistance may allow for a short period of time outdoor operation.

Both stranded and solid wire have the same resistance properties but stranded wire guarantee an extra flexibility, resistance to bending and are generally easier to install than solid cables.

Flexible cables for equipment cabling

These cables are designed to be used for the internal cabling of electrical and electronic equipment. The yellow and green cable is not suitable for earth connections.
