Time Saving Features
Wire isn't the most exciting product in the world, but we still found a way to pack ours full of features that will save you time and and eliminate frustration:
- Proprietary winding technology and huge 4" payout hole combine to eliminate kinks and tangles as wire is pulled out of the box.
- Reinforced handles, super-strong cardboard, and a water resistant coating ensure that the box can withstand a lot of abuse.
- Foot markers ensure that you always know how much wire is left in the box.
- Jacket printing includes safety rating, UL information and any additional applicable ratings.
- Rip cords make it easy to remove the outer jacket when terminating
Ratings
Our wire gets installed in your home. That's why we take fire-safety ratings seriously and why all of our wire is tested by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the industry leading testing laboratory. This wire carries the following ratings:
- Riser (CL3R) fire safety rating for installation in walls and risers (between floors) in both residential and commercial buildings.
Always consult your local building code and/or a licensed electrician if you're unsure about whether a wire or cable is suitable for your use case.
