Alpha Wire 600 V, mPPE Hook Up Wire, EcoWire Series

EcoWire from Alpha Wire is the latest innovation in hook-up wire. EcoWire combines increased performance with a minimal environmental impact due to it being fully recyclable.
This hook up wire is manufactured from a modified polyphenylene ether (mPPE) thermoplastic. EcoWire can be easily recycled since it does not contain hazardous materials. The enhanced dielectric properties of this hook up wire make it possible to have a reduced wall thickness while still maintaining the same electrical properties as PVC.

Features and Benefits

• Fully recyclable
• Up to 45% smaller diameter than PVC
• Up to 40% lighter than other insulation materials
• Excellent dielectric strength
• Low specific gravity
• Flame retardant to UL VW-1 rating
• EcoWire Plus range available with excellent resistance to hazardous oils and chemicals
• Stranded or solid tinned copper conductors
• Available in lengths of 100 ft (30.5 m) and 1000 ft (305 m)

What is UL/CSA standard?

The UL standard (Underwriters Laboratories) is a recognised certificate that requires the rigorous testing of product samples to determine whether the product meets specific, defined requirements. These requirements are often based on UL's published and nationally recognised Standards for Safety.
CSA approval (Canadian Standards Association) provides product testing and certification for electrical, mechanical, plumbing, gas and various other products. This approval is recognised in Canada, the U.S and various countries around the world. It includes a stringent series of flame tests on wires and cables.

Product Application Information

Hook up wire is frequently used in control panels, automotive, meters, ovens, internal wiring of computers, electronic equipment, business machines and appliances.
Alpha Wire’s FIT heat-shrink tubing and FIT wire management system can both be used with the Alpha Wire hook up wire range and are an ideal for solving many challenges in electrical and electronic wiring.
