Building Wire & Cable
Available1,017 products
Building wire and cable carry electrical current from a power source to a device in a building, such as an outlet or light fixture. Building wire is typically run through conduit, cable trays, or raceways. Building cable consists of multiple strands of wire bundled inside a thermoplastic or metal sheath. Building wire and cable are typically used to run new circuits or extend old circuits inside walls and ceilings in commercial, industrial, and residential properties.
THHN/THWN Building Wire
Thermoplastic high-heat-resistant nylon (THHN) and thermoplastic high-heat and water-resistant nylon (THWN) building wire is a coated wire typically run through conduit or cable trays. This general purpose wire supplies an electrical current in a range of indoor wiring projects, including control circuits and appliances. It has a durable nylon jacket that resists abrasion, protects against shock, and shields the thermoplastic insulation and metal conductor from damage. THWN building wire is moisture-resistant and withstands higher temperatures than THHN building wire.

Armored Building Cable
Armored building cable is a collection of plastic-coated insulated wire bundled together and protected by a corrugated metal jacket (called a sheath or cord) that serves as a conduit and provides grounding. Also known as BX cable or metal-clad (MC) cable, armored cable prevents accidental penetration better than NM-B building cable, but it is heavier and harder to handle, rip back, and cut. It is often used in applications where cable will be exposed to mechanical or environmental damage under normal operating conditions, such as power circuits in industrial plants and commercial buildings.

NM-B Building Cable
Nonmetallic sheathed (NM-B) building cable is a flexible electrical cable consisting of three or more wire conductors (including one for grounding) bundled inside a thermoplastic jacket, or sheath, that is nonconductive and heat-resistant. It's lighter than armored building cable, making it easier to handle, and its pliable sheathing is easier to unspool and straighten out. It is commonly used in residential and commercial applications to provide power for outlets, lighting, and appliances. Type NM-B cable is for enclosed, interior wiring in dry locations only (typically within a wall, ceiling, or under a floor) and should not be used outdoors or anywhere it might get wet.

TFFN/TFN Fixture Wire
Thermoplastic flexible nylon (TFFN) and thermoplastic fixture nylon (TFN) wire is a coated wire typically run through raceways specifically designed for fixture wiring. It's primarily used in commercial applications to power hardwired light fixtures in ceilings and walls. It's more flexible than THHN building wire but less resistant to heat, and it is only available in limited gauges (18 and 16 AWG). TFN wire is a single solid wire that's not as flexible as TFFN and is used in applications where flexibility isn't a concern.

XHHW Building Wire
Cross-linked polyethylene high-heat-resistant water-resistant (XHHW) building wire is a coated wire typically run through raceways. XHHW wire has a thicker and more protective jacket than THHN building wire, making it more resistant to chemicals, ozone, and abrasions. Its cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation is also more flexible than the thermoplastic insulation of THHN wire. This allows XHHW wire to bend and flex more easily, which makes it ideal for electrical projects where complex, close-spaced bends are required.
