OVERVIEW

Premium American-Made #2 Welding Cable

The Direct Wire Flex-A-Prene® #2 Welding Cable represents the pinnacle of industrial power transmission technology, designed specifically for professionals who demand reliability and compliance. This cable is sold by the foot, allowing for custom-length configurations tailored to specific workshop or field requirements. At its core, the cable utilizes 30 AWG SAE copper conductors, a fine stranding configuration that ensures maximum conductivity while maintaining exceptional flexibility. This construction minimizes operator fatigue during long shifts by reducing the drag and stiffness associated with coarser cables.

Encasing the copper core is Direct Wire's proprietary EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) jacket. This low-smoke, halogen-free insulation is engineered to withstand the harshest industrial environments. It offers robust resistance to abrasion, tearing, and common shop chemicals such as oil, grease, and solvents. The material science behind Flex-A-Prene allows it to maintain its physical integrity across an extreme temperature range, rated from -50°C (-58°F) to 105°C (221°F). This ensures the cable remains pliable in freezing outdoor conditions and resists melting or deformation in high-heat welding zones.

From a compliance standpoint, this #2 AWG cable meets rigorous industry standards. It is SAE J1127 compliant, satisfying the requirements for battery cable applications, and adheres to NEC Article 630 for electric welders. Furthermore, it meets UL 558 and 585 standards for battery use, making it a versatile solution for both welding power sources and heavy-duty battery interconnects. Manufactured entirely in the United States, this cable also complies with REACH, RoHS, and Proposition 65, ensuring it meets modern environmental and safety regulations.

Whether used for secondary voltage resistance welding leads or power supply applications not exceeding 600 volts AC, the Flex-A-Prene #2 cable delivers consistent performance. Its combination of high-grade copper, advanced polymer jacketing, and strict manufacturing tolerances makes it the preferred choice for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) specialists seeking longevity and safety in their electrical components.

FAQ

The Flex-A-Prene #2 cable is rated for temperatures ranging from -50°C (-58°F) to 105°C (221°F), making it suitable for extreme cold and high-heat environments.

Yes, when you order by the foot, we cut the cable to your specified length as a single continuous piece up to the maximum reel size.

This welding cable is rated for up to 600 Volts AC.

Yes, it utilizes 30 AWG SAE copper conductors for maximum conductivity and flexibility.

Absolutely. This cable is SAE J1127 compliant and meets UL 558 and 585 standards, making it excellent for battery use.

Yes, the EPDM jacket is resistant to oil, grease, solvents, and abrasion.

Direct Wire Flex-A-Prene cable is manufactured in the United States.

It is significantly more flexible due to the high strand count (30 AWG) and the rubber EPDM jacket, which remains pliable even in cold weather unlike PVC.
