Single conductors, multiple advantages.

Copper Line Break

NOT ALL INSULATIONS ARE CREATED EQUAL

Service Wire's single conductors are insulated with thermoset crosslink polyethylene (XLPE), a superior product compared to thermoplastic compounds. It is a slicker insulation eliminating the need for pulling lubricant on the jobsite. The conductors are easy to strip, just like standard building wire, but offer added protection against installation and environmental conditions.

THHN vs. XHHW-2: What's the Difference?

XHHW-2

Thermoset XHHW-2 (XLPE) insulation is superior to the thinner PVC insulation used in thermoplastic products (like THHN/THWN-2). Learn more about the differences between THHN and XHHW-2. Read More

Cable for Data Center Power Distribution

Discover why ServicePlex® twisted data center cable is the optimal solution for reliable power distribution, improved heat dissipation, reduced derating, and space-efficient installation in mission-critical data center environments. If you’d like, I can also create a slightly more technical version that leans harder into performance metrics and engineering keywords.

Thermal Shock

Learn what thermal shock is, why energizing cold cable too quickly can damage insulation, and how proper warm-up practices and cable selection prevent cracking and long-term failures in electrical installations.

Cold Weather Cable

Extreme cold temps put your cables to the test. If you use the wrong cable it can stiffen, crack, & even break. Select a thermoset XLPE cable with sufficient cold temperature rating instead.
