As technologies advance we rely less on wires for connecting to the Internet or making phone calls, but there are often applications for which there is no substitue. Especially in indistrial situations, you need electrical wiring to keep the power running. If you need industrial wire for your business or home, you can find a metal wire distributor online for quick and efficient access to the products you need.

When searching for electrical wire for sale, compare prices between suppliers to find the best deal. When making a large purchase, request a quote from each metal wire supplier or browse a catalog of industrial wiring to find a specific product. Some services you can expect from wire suppliers include:

1. Custom cables or industrial wire for sale

2. Free estimates with no required purchase

3. An online catalog detailing industrial wire specifications


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find a comprehensive source of industrial wire for sale


Industrial wiring has countless applications, from telephone systems to burglar alarms. If you run an operation that needs many types of electrical wiring as well as accessories, it can save time to find a wholesale dealer that sells a variety products from multiple manufacturers. Save money on bulk orders and shipping from a single source.

I recommend: WesBell Electronics offers an inventory of electric wires and accesories from 60 manufacturers. Browse their online catalog of products. AlcoTec sells a variety of wire products catered to industrial operations like welding and arc spray coating systems.

Purchase custom engineered cable and wiring


Cable and wire manufacturers predetermine the characteristics of the finished wire product. You don't have a say in the electrical tolerance or insulation components of most electrical wire for sale. If you need wire that holds up to custom standards, or would like to customize the color coding or cable shield, go with a manufacturer that constructs custom wire.

I recommend: Contact Multi/Cable Coroporation with your specifications for custom cabling. Determine the tolerance, insulation, and various functions to be included in a single cable strand. R & F Alloy produces round, flat, and square shaped wires that are custom produced both unplated or plated with a wide selection of metal finishes.

Stock your inventory of electrical wires


If you sell electrical wiring, you need to maintain a full stock. Contact a re-distributor of wire and cabling who can provide you with all the wiring you need to keep a full inventory.

I recommend: WireXpress is a national wire re-distributor of copper wire and cables and fiber-optics. Check out their product lines to see if they carry the goods you require. WireXpress will sell only to distributors and electric wiring wholesalers.
