RS PRO Red 0.52 mm² Hook Up Wire, 20 AWG, 26/0.16 mm, 100m, XLPVC Insulation

RS PRO Red, 0.52 mm² Hook Up Wire, 100 m

Power your electrical appliances with this hook-up wire from RS PRO. It can be used to connect a variety of low-voltage electronics, like computers and circuit boards, to your mains power supply. You can also use it with industrial equipment such as transformers and motors.

The cable has an abrasion-resistant cross-linked polyvinyl chloride (XLPVC) sheath to prevent damage from impact or scrapes. This sheath also prevents moisture and dirt from getting onto the wires, keeping it working better for longer. The internal wiring is made from corrosion-resistant copper, so it's unlikely to rust.


Thanks to the cable's heat resistance, you can use this product without the risk of your electrical connection overloading and blowing. It's also safe to use in both domestic and commercial settings, as it meets Underwriters' Laboratories (UL) 1581 and 758 standards for appliance wiring material.
