Good place to order heat resistant cabling?

[pianoman]

I need some place where I can order the kind of cable one would use to wire an instrument with. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. What I'm familiar with is heat resistant individual conductors (3) with a fiberglass sheath around them. That would work, as well as whatever else there is out there that is for this purpose. I just need to order probably 15 or 20 feet of it from somewhere. Where can I get this stuff?

Thanks,
Dan

How much heat does it have to take?

Most electrical supply stores should carry fiberglass sheathed cable. You can probably also order it through your local theatre supplier. You probably will have to buy it by the roll, so you will get plenty more than 20 feet. You can definitely pick it up from places like BMI Supply and Production Advantage.

Yep, They won't have it at Home Depot, but any sort of electrical supply place should have it.

What's an electrical supply store? Well that's a stupid question, but where are they? Are they common, what is a brand name in electrical supply stores? Never heard of 'em before.

Electrical Supply Stores are stores that sell contractor-grade electrical parts for much lower prices than hardware stores, and they also have the more obscure electrical stuff. Apparently their website isn't working right now, but Dauphin Electric is our local store, and apparently a decent-sized company.

Here's a place to start:

If the link does not work, goto:

and search for
high temperature wire

Be sure to read the data cut sheets for details. There is a lot to chose from. You can follow links back to the manufacturers.

Graybar is a huge one, as well as Anexter, but they tend to deal more with data cabling. There are plenty of mom and pop places out there. Just drive down to your nearest industrial pit type area, near the welding suppliers and whatever industry center you have and you will find a large scale electrical suppliers. When I used to work for an electrical contractor I used to carry a binder listing about every supplier in the area. These are the places that know nearly everyone by name when you walk in. Some do not even have a credit card machine because nearly everyone is on a PO account.

If you get stuck, we sell high temp wire and glass sleeving by the foot.
