Specifications

• Construction: AWM cables typically feature flexible conductors made of stranded copper or aluminum, which enhances their workability and reduces the risk of damage during installation.
• Insulation: The insulation material can vary, with common options including PVC, nylon, and XLPE. These materials provide protection against abrasion, moisture, and chemicals, ensuring durability in various environments.
• Temperature Ratings: AWM cables are engineered to withstand a wide temperature range, often from -40°C to 90°C (-40°F to 194°F), depending on the specific style and application.
• Voltage Ratings: The voltage ratings for AWM cables can vary based on the specific style, but they are generally suitable for low-voltage applications, typically up to 600 volts.
• Categories and Styles: UL categorizes AWM cables into five sections based on characteristics such as the number of conductors, presence of a jacket, and insulation type (thermoset or thermoplastic). There are over 7,000 different UL Styles, each with specific applications and performance criteria.
