OVERVIEW

Reliable Industrial Power Distribution

The 8/4 Power Input Cable is a premium-grade electrical conductor designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments. Engineered with four stranded copper conductors, this 8-gauge cable provides a stable and efficient pathway for high-amperage power delivery. Rated for up to 600 volts, it is the ideal solution for connecting heavy machinery, motors, and power distribution panels in workshops, factories, and construction sites. Its robust construction ensures that it can handle the electrical load required by demanding equipment without compromising safety or performance.

One of the standout features of this cable is its durability. The outer jacket is formulated to resist the harsh conditions often found in industrial settings, including exposure to oils, solvents, moisture, and abrasion. This makes it suitable for use in areas where cables are frequently dragged across concrete floors or exposed to mechanical stress. Despite its rugged exterior, the cable remains flexible, allowing for easy installation around corners and through conduit, or for use as a portable cord for mobile equipment.

At Josef Gas, we understand that every facility has unique power requirements. That is why this 8/4 cable is sold by the foot, allowing you to purchase exactly the length you need for your specific project—whether you are wiring a new piece of equipment or replacing a damaged power drop. Its 4-conductor configuration makes it versatile for various wiring schemes, including three-phase power applications with a ground, ensuring broad compatibility with modern industrial electrical systems.

Safety is paramount when dealing with high-voltage electricity. This cable meets strict industry standards for insulation and jacket integrity, providing peace of mind that your electrical infrastructure is secure. Whether you are setting up a temporary power supply for a job site or installing permanent wiring for a manufacturing line, the 8/4 Power Input Cable delivers the performance and reliability professionals trust.

FAQ

This cable is rated for up to 600 Volts, making it suitable for most industrial and commercial power applications.

It contains 4 separate conductors. Typically, these are color-coded (e.g., Black, White, Red, Green) for easy identification during wiring.

Yes, this item is sold by the foot, allowing you to order the exact length required for your specific installation or project.

Absolutely. 8/4 cable is a popular choice for making heavy-duty extension cords for welding machines, provided the amperage draw of the machine is within the cable's rating.

Yes, this type of power input cable typically uses stranded copper conductors and a flexible jacket, making it easy to coil and route around the shop.

Ampacity depends on the cable length, ambient temperature, and specific insulation type, but 8 AWG is generally rated for around 40 to 55 amps in typical applications. Always consult the NEC or a qualified electrician.

Yes, cables rated 600V for industrial input usually feature jackets (like SOOW) that are resistant to oil, water, and solvents, though specific resistance ratings should be verified if the environment is extreme.

Yes, with 4 conductors, this cable is suitable for 3-phase applications (3 hots + ground) or single-phase applications requiring a neutral (2 hots + neutral + ground).
