AWM Cables

AWM cables are constructed with high-performance thermoplastic or thermoset insulation materials that offer outstanding heat resistance. They are typically rated for continuous operating temperatures up to 105°C (221°F). In more extreme conditions, AWM cables can handle short-term exposure to temperatures as high as 150°C (302°F). This makes them ideal for use in high-temperature environments like industrial control panels, ovens, and machinery with high thermal output, preventing insulation breakdown and avoiding heat-related failures. 

Conductor Material

Tinned Copper or Bare Copper

Conductor Size

24 AWG to 10 AWG

Insulation Material

PVC, Teflon (PTFE), XLPE, or FEP

Temperature Rating

-40°C to 105°C (with short-term exposure up to 150°C)

Voltage Rating

300V to 600V

Product Description

AWM cables are designed with flame-retardant and halogen-free insulation materials, reducing the risk of toxic fumes and smoke in case of fire. This feature is crucial in automotive, aerospace, and critical infrastructure industries, where safety standards demand cables that meet stringent regulations for low smoke and non-toxic emissions. These cables comply with UL 94V-0 standards for flame retardancy, ensuring they will not contribute to fire escalation.

Up to 2 GHz (depending on cable type and construction)

Outer Jacket Material

PVC, TPE, or Low Smoke Halogen-Free Material

Insulation Resistance

≥ 100 MΩ/km (at 100V DC)

Dielectric Strength

2.1 at 1 MHz

Minimum Bend Radius

4x Cable Diameter (for flexible cables)

Chemical Resistance

Resistant to oils, solvents, acids, and alkalis

Applications

Industrial Automation, Medical Equipment, Robotics, Data Centers, Telecommunications

Technical Advantages

AWM cables are engineered to handle a wide range of voltage levels, typically from 300V up to 600V, depending on the application. Their robust dielectric strength allows them to maintain performance under high-voltage conditions, minimizing the risk of insulation breakdown or electric shock hazards. This ensures reliability and safety for critical systems such as power supplies and complex control circuits. 

AWM cables feature specially formulated insulation and jacket materials that offer superior resistance to oils, solvents, acids, and alkalis. The choice of materials like PVC, Teflon, and polyurethane ensures that AWM cables can withstand harsh environments, whether they are exposed to chemicals in manufacturing facilities, underground installations, or offshore applications. These cables will maintain their integrity over extended periods, avoiding premature failures from chemical degradation.

Ultra-Low Fire-Propagation with Advanced Fire-Stop Features

AWM cables are built with high mechanical flexibility, which makes them ideal for applications where cables experience frequent movement, bending, or vibration. With low bend radii and tensile strength that prevents breakage during installation or operation, AWM cables are perfect for robotics, CNC machinery, and other dynamic applications. The insulation material is designed to resist cracking, fatigue, and abrasion, even under constant motion or extreme mechanical stress. 

For industries with high fire risk, such as aerospace and automotive, AWM cables are constructed to ensure ultra-low fire propagation. Fire-stop properties prevent flame spread along the cable’s length, preventing catastrophic failure in the event of a fire. AWM cables meet or exceed UL’s vertical flame test (UL 1581) and other global standards to minimize the fire hazard, providing additional protection for critical systems.
