SOOW Cords are commonly used for many types of industrial equipment requiring up to 600 volts.

Curious what SOOW stands for?

Big thanks to our customer, Mannan, who snapped this photo of his plane down in Florida.  Mannan purchased #6 awg diesel locomotive cable for his battery application.

Here is what Mannan had to say about the plane and the diesel locomotive cable:

Here's a shot if my plane.  It is called an RV-8 and is a kit plane.  I finished and first flew it in 2006.  It cruises at over 200 mph and burns less than 10 gallons of 100 octane low lead fuel per hour.  It took me over 3 and a half years to build it and has over 14,000 rivets.  (These are not "pop" rivets!)  It is designed to do aerobatics and is a hoot to fly.  Wife and I have been coast to coast and back twice.

The 2awg diesel locomotive cable that I bought from you guys will be used to run a dedicated "ground" from the battery which is located in the rear for proper balance, forward to the firewall.  At the firewall, there will be a post to connect all the avionics and all the rest of the electrical components."

We appreciate the fun photo and the info, Mannan!  Fly safe!!

We offer diesel locomotive cables in several sizes and cut it by the foot at no extra charge.  We ship  this cable the same day its ordered as long as its placed before 3pm cst and customers usually receive it within 1-3 business days.

As always, if you have any questions please let us know!

Do you have a project that requires the use of #6 gauge stranded wire?  Trying to figure out what type of 6 awg wire you need & how much the electrical wire is going to cost?

If so, Wire & Cable To Go has several different options of #6 gauge wires to choose from!

1.  New in stock is our #6 AWG XHHW-2 Aluminum Building Wire - Available by the foot!

CLICK HERE TO VIEW #6 XHHW-2 ALUMINUM BUILDING PRICING

2. Most popular 6 gauge wire we carry is a building wire called #6 AWG THHN - Stranded Copper Building Wire.

Offered by the foot with a wide selection of colors, THHN comes in a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) insulation with a nylon jacket.  THHN wire can be used in a conduit but is not rated for direct burial alone. Our 6 awg THHN is also THWN-2 dual rated which means this conductor is appropriate for use in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90° C or not to exceed 75°C in oil or coolants.  It is rated for 55 amps @ 60°C.

CLICK HERE TO VIEW PRICING ON 6 AWG THHN BUILDING WIRE.

3. If you are looking for #6 awg copper wire that can be directly buried into the ground without a conduit we recommend our 6 awg XLP-USE2-RHH-RHW-2 Building Wire which is rated for direct burial.

4. We also carry a few multi-conductor 6 awg wires such as the #6-3 THHN-PVC Tray Cable with Ground.  Tray Cables are also rated for direct burial and are sunlight resistant.  These Tray Cables are pretty much multi-conductor THHN wires all under one jacket meant to be buried in the ground without a conduit.

5. If your #6 gauge wire needs to be flexible we have several options as well!

Below are a few Flexible #6 AWG Cables we offer that depending on your application specs may work great!

• #6 AWG MTW WIRE (266 Strands)


• #6 AWG Welding Cable Class K (259 Strands)


• #6 AWG Welding Cable Clas M (660 Strands)


• #6 Stage Lighting Cable (259 Strands)

We cut all these cables by the foot at no extra charge and ship them out the same day when ordered before 3pm cst.  Most customers receive their order within 1-3 business days due to our shipping locations across the country.

We want to send a thanks to our friend and customer, Jay, down in Texas for sending in this photo of his new Tesla car being charged.  Jay needed to buy #3 awg THHN building wire in order for him to charge up his new electric car.

According to Jay:

" I had to hook up the fastest sports car on the market . 0- 60 in 3.9 seconds! Tesla has the fastest super chargers out there, takes 30 minutes to recharge, BUT you need 100 amp #3AWG wire to do it!"

Jay also sent us a link on some interesting facts about the history of electric cars:

Did you know that the first vehicles were electric and not combustion?
“Electric cars were popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century, until advances in internal combustion engine technology and mass production of cheaper gasoline vehicles led to a decline in the use of electric drive vehicles”  Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car



The picture above is Thomas Edison & a Detroit Electric Car in 1913.

We appreciate the info, Jay, and look forward to seeing the progress of electric cars in our country!

Sending a big thanks to our customer, Dave, out in Indiana for snapping the above photo.   Dave decided to buy 6 AWG 4 Conductor Type W Portable Power Cable from us for his generator at home.  The 6/4 Type W Portable Power Cord is rated for 87 amps and is suited for 2000 Volt applications.  Dave took the photo before hooking the cord into his fuse box.

Our Type W Multiconductor Portable Cord is commonly used for portable generators along with our  SOOW Multiconductor Portable Cords.  One of the main difference between the Type W Portable Cord & the SOOW Portable Cord are the voltage ratings on the cords.  The SOOW cord is rated for 600 Volt applications while the Type W is rated for 2000 Volts application.  The Type W also has a more durable jacket, suitable for tougher environments, and is available in larger gauge sizes than the SOOW.

Please click here to learn more about the sizes available and our pricing on the Type W Portable Power Cable.

We'd like to give a thanks to our customer, Stu, down in Texas for sending in a photo of our Belden 8761 equal communication cable. The belden equals are very popular amongst our customers and feedback on the quality of these low voltage cables are outstanding!

Here is what Stu had to say about the photos and his use for the Belden Equal:

We manufacture level controls for the petrochemical and food processing industries. The pictured unit has a probe that is inserted in the tank and has electronics that can be mounted up to 5000 feet away with your cable. Customers order the length to suit their application and we cut to order. We bought your equal to Belden 8761.

We appreciate the feedback, Stu!
