Romex NM-B Cable®, UF-B Cable and THHN wire are the main types of electrical wire which is also known as building wire. Both Romex® and UF-B cable are made with THHN wires and come with a bare copper ground wire.

PVC Wire and Teflon high temperature wire are the most common types of Hook Up Wire in the wire and cable industry. They're used in appliances and also to manufacture wire assemblies for different types of electronics.

The most common type of single conductor power cable is welding cable but if you need a multi-conductor power cord then take a look at our SOOW Cable. We also have the 300 volt version available as SJOOW Cable.

There are many things that make up a perfect electrical wire and cable vendor including price, service, quality of product and delivery time. In order to fulfill these needs as a vendor we must buy large quantities from reputable manufacturers, add it inventory and cut/package a good looking product. WesBell Electronics has the ability to meet the needs of its customers.

Copper fluctuates daily and makes it very difficult to price electrical wire. So the more aware you are of copper pricing the more you'll understand why cable pricing is up or down that particular day. We update our website every 2 weeks with current copper prices that show where it's been over the last few years. If you made a THHN wire purchase a year ago, then we recommend looking at the chart to see if copper has gone up or down to judge where your pricing will be before you decide to make the phone call.

PTFE Teflon wire is manufactured with silver-plated copper strands and a PTFE compound insulation for high temperature.

Copper: As shown above copper pricing has been rapidly increasing over the last year making the price of Teflon Wire go up along with it.

Silver: Silver and copper are both commodities traded on the NYSE which makes them fluctuate daily. Silver has been increasing even faster than copper over the last year also increasing the price of Teflon Wire.

PTFE Compound: There was a large PTFE compound manufacturer in Japan that was affected by the recent earthquake. This pushed all manufacturing from their plant into other compound manufacturers. You might think more business is better but they can't keep up to it so the demand is growing fast! The PTFE compound is now being rationed out to each teflon wire manufacturer creating long lead times for wire and much higher pricing.

Our online Teflon pricing is updated daily to be sure it's up to date for our customers.

Copper wire is derived from the famous element, copper. Because of its unique characteristics, it has been regarded as a material of high value. Ever since, this type of wire has been constantly used for jewelry making, utility concerns, and deepwater fishing. These are just some of the uses of this cable. Recently, these have been innovations that lead the experts to make use of this wire for industrial and aeronautic purposes. To know more about this seemingly common but amazing wire, read on.

There are various uses of this wire that have been widely recognized in different parts of the world such as THHN Electrical Wire, Romex® and underground cables. Because of its appealing color and malleability, copper wire has made its way to the jewelry making industry. Aside from these physical properties, this wire does not undergo corrosion. Therefore, if an object is made of wire, it is likely that it will last for a long time without tarnishing. Its superior sinking rate and its considerable strength despite its seemingly frail nature makes it a perfect tool for deepwater fishing. This is because you will need minimal weight to serve as an anchor while using this. Most of the industries that make use of copper wires capitalize on the wires' ability to withstand high amounts of electricity and heat that pass through them. Some of the other uses that this wire has been famous for are in electrical buildings, appliances, and other types of electrically operated equipment.

According to the recent statistics, the largest deposits of copper can be found in the United States and Chile. In the United States, most of the copper mines have been built in the western parts of the country. The states that are located here have the most abundant supplies of copper harvested for manufacturing of copper wires. Aside from these regions, there have also been reportedly abundant amounts of copper in Peru, Canada, Australia, and in approximately 40 other countries.

Aside from being ductile, types of wire such as tray cable and portable power cable has been regarded as a desirable construction material because of its ability to withstand high temperatures. Aside from that, wire made of copper has been renowned for its ability to efficiently conduct electricity through its entire length. Next to silver, it is the most effective medium for conducting electricity and heat.

Because of its versatility, there has been a high demand for copper wires in different parts of the world. This has also been the same reason that widespread theft of copper wires has been a common concern among the countries. In fact, the local government of these countries reported cases of theft even in broad daylight.

United States has been known to have increased cases of theft of copper wires as the years passed. This has also been known as a lucrative black market business for some people living in India, China, and Brazil. Because of the increased need for building materials, prices for copper significantly shot up. This has been noted since the year 2009. Commonly, large spools of copper wires are bought from storage facilities of electric utility. According to statistics, most of the copper wire consumers use this for construction sites, irrigation system sprinklers, and highway and road lighting fixtures.
