ALPHA WIRE
Wires, industrial cables and cable-management accessories
About the manufacturer
Alpha Wire is a US manufacturer specializing in wire, cable and cable-management accessories. Founded in New York City in 1922, the company evolved from a supplier to the radio industry into a global provider of connectivity solutions for automation, electronics, energy and demanding technical applications.
The Alpha Wire portfolio includes hook-up wire, multiconductor and multipair cable, control cable, continuous-flex cable, servo and VFD cable, as well as heat-shrink tubing and installation accessories. Product families are engineered around specific environmental, mechanical and electrical requirements.
A major focus is cabling for automation and robotics. Selected series are designed for millions of flex cycles, cable carriers and environments exposed to oils, chemicals, UV radiation and electromagnetic interference.
Alpha Wire also develops custom-engineered solutions. The ability to select insulation materials, shielding, conductor count, gauge and cable construction helps designers address applications where standard products do not provide sufficient durability or electrical performance.
Applications
Alpha Wire solutions are used where cabling must remain reliable under intensive motion or harsh environmental conditions. Typical applications include:
– industrial automation – control and signal wiring in machinery and production lines;
– robotics – continuous-flex cables for moving systems and cable carriers;
– servo drives and variable-frequency drives – motor, control and shielded cables;
– energy – wiring for equipment, installations and monitoring systems;
– semiconductor manufacturing – cabling for precision process equipment and automation;
– medical, aerospace and defense equipment – specialized cables for demanding environments.
ALPHA WIRE products available from Maritex
Maritex offers Alpha Wire specialist wire and cable solutions for electronics, automation and industrial applications. The range supports selection by flexibility, environmental resistance and electrical requirements.
Available product groups include:
– Industrial wire and cable.
– Control and signal cables.
– Cables for moving equipment and repeated flexing.
