Hook up wire, or copper wire/equipment wire is normally used for low voltage and current applications. Copper strands are covered by a sheath of material (usually PVC) and act as the conductor of electricity to power its target. Frequently found within everyday household and workplace appliances, hook up wire is a common occurrence. If a device has multiple wires to operate, hook up wire and be installed with different sheath colours on their respective terminals. This is to avoid the confusion of a "spaghetti junction" of wires.

Defence standard cable and wire were originally designed and manufactured for the Defence and Military industries as they work in extreme environments. The wires are now used across various other applications like industrial, avionics and data processing as they have provide a high voltage range and added protection from electromagnetic interference. This cable meets the Defence Standard 61-12 (part 6).
