So you’ve got a job wiring up a row of industrial detectors in a dusty workshop, and the customer needs something that’ll twist into tight corners without cracking or shorting out — that’s exactly what this stuff handles, and we’ve sold it for those setups for years.

It’s stranded copper, not solid, which makes a real difference when you’re bending it around control cabinet edges, and the PVC insulation is 0.8mm thick, so it shrugs off the usual scrapes and oil splashes you’d see in a manufacturing floor or wet environment — we’ve had buyers run it in distribution boxes for three years without a single failure.

The cross-section runs from half a square millimeter up to five, and you’ll want to match that to your load, but here’s the thing: for anything under 1.5mm² the rated voltage is 300/500V, while the bigger gauges handle 450/750V, which catches some people off guard when they’re speccing a tool circuit.

Basically, a buyer once tried using the 0.75mm² for a small motor feed and it worked fine until the votage spiked — we usually recommend going with at least 1.5mm² for power lighting or small tools, as the thicker insulation gives you that extra headroom, and the temperature range is -15°C to +70°C, so it’s not suited for ovens or freezers.

Certifications are ISO9001, CE, and RoHS, and every batch comes with a COA form our mill — we follow GB5023-2008 standard, and colors can be black or custom, but expect a lead time of roughly 20 days or so if you’re asking for something off the shelf, and the MOQ is 100 meters.

We’ve seen these used in amplifier connections and audio gear too, but honestly, the stranded core and PVC jacket make it better for industiral control than for high-fidelity signal work — tight bends matter more than purity there, anyway.
For cross sections under 1.5mm², the working voltage is 300/500V. Once you hit 1.5mm² and above, it goes up to 450/750V. So a 0.5mm² wire is rated at 300/500V, while a 2.5mm² wire handles 450/750V.
Yes, we can do custom colors for this PVC insulated wire. Just let us know the color you need when placing your order, and we'll make it happen — as long as it's technically feasible for the PVC material.
This wire is certified under ISO9001, CE, and RoHS, so it complies with international quality and environmental standards. It's also made to the GB5023-2008 spec, which is the Chinese national standard for PVC insulated cables.
The 100-meter MOQ applies per size. So if you need 50 meters of 0.5mm² and 50 meters of 2.5mm², that would count as two separate orders, each hitting the 100-meter minimum.
The outer diameter varies by model from 2.6mm to 3.6mm. For a 5mm² wire, it's on the higher end — around 3.6mm. The exact figure depends on the conductor stranding and insulation thickness.
