Solar Cable

We supply multi-conductor solar cable which is suitable for any solar application, handling extreme temperatures as low as -40°C static and -30°C bending, and as high as 90°C. The cables come with tough, abrasion resistant PVC jackets that also resist sunlight, UV radiation and Ozone.

They have been designed especially for solar inverters and other similar applications – wherever your solar farm is installed, our solar cables the perfect solution. Our solar cable brochure download can be found by following the link to our website.

Low Smoke Zero Halogen

Hook-Up Wire

In our Hook-Up wire category, you'll find everything you need to hook up virtually anything. Whether it's a control cabinet in a protected environment, or a high-temperature oven, we've got the wire that is suited to your application. In our downloadable Hook-Up Wire Brochure, you'll find stranded and solid copper conductors, bare or tinned, with numerous other platings available for your special application requirements. Colour-coded insulation makes circuit identification simple, while excellent uniformity and a low-fray design makes for easy handling, stripping and termination.

All of our hook-up wires are UL, CSA and MIL-spec compliant. A variety of insulation options are available to meet your requirements for abrasion resistance, extreme temperature resistance, electrical performance, and resistance to oil, solvents and chemicals.

Kerrigan-Lewis™ Specialty Wire

Alpha Wire specialises in the manufacture of wire for unique applications, including high frequency inductors and transformers, motors, relays, inverters, ultrasonic and sonar equipment, heat-induction equipment, and high-twist applications.

Our Kerrigan-Lewis Litz wire reduces AC losses in conductors to make transformers and motors more efficient. It can be supplied in a multitude of configurations to suit the operating voltages, frequencies, and current-carrying capacities of your device.

Also in the Kerrigan-Lewis range are resistance wires of various configurations which achieve high-tolerance resistive values with a copper-nickel alloy.

Standard wire sizes vary from 40 AWG to 25 AWG to meet the resistivity and current-carrying needs of your device.

FIT® Heat-Shrink Tubing

FIT® Wire Management

Wire harnesses and cable routing can easily become messy and unmanageable. When this happens, let Alpha Wire provide the solutions. We'll manage your harnesses and routing using coloured lacing tape and abrasion-resistant woven sleeves that are both tough and flexible, while we also provide flexible FIT tubing for additional resistance to chemical, oils, solvents, and temperatures as high as 260 degrees.

We also supply effective and easy to use braided shields for enhanced EMI protection or for use as a ground connection. So for better wire management, give Alpha a call!
