Low Inductance Wire (LIW) features a PVC/Nylon core with a copper serve and PVC jacket, designed to minimize inductance for 5G communications. LIW allows two DC power conductors to fit in a smaller space, with outer wires matching the central conductor’s conductance area. Available in 4, 6, and 8 AWG, 19-strand constructions.

Alarm wire for cell towers includes Thermoplastic Flexible Fixture (TFFN) wire and Machine Tool Wire (MTW). TFFN is typically used for fixtures and lighting, while MTW is used for machine tools and control cabinets, offering greater flexibility. Both are rated to 600 volts and available in 22 to 16 AWG, either as discrete wires or twisted pairs. The Nylon coating over PVC insulation enhances oil, gas, and water resistance.
