SPT FLAT BULK CABLE SPT-1, SPT-2, SPT-3

This category covers our selection of SPT flat cable in Bulk. Also known as lamp cord, we've got all jacket styles available including SPT-1 and SPT-2, with SPT-3 coming soon.

SPT cable is also known as lamp cord or lighting cable due to its widespread use in lamp wiring and lighting fixtures. This light-duty cord can, however, also be used for a range of low-power equipment including radios, clocks, fridges, air-cons, and other household consumer electronics. You can recognize it instantly by the two conductor composition. Bulk wire guarantees that you can meet the demands of your customers while rewarding yourself with the lowest price possible.

18/2 SPT-1 & SPT-2 Bulk wires

We've got high quality 18/2 & 18/2 SPT-1, SPT-2 flat cables in Bulk readily available. All cabling carries the highest quality thermoplastic shell, and each electrical cable is rated safe to either 10 or 13 amps and 300 volts. It guarantees safe to use across all of its applications, guarding wiring against current loss, heat damage, and basic wear-and-tear.

16/3 for High power appliances

16/3 SPT-2 is also offered for those who are looking for better insulation, a higher gauge, and higher amperage for their small appliances and light-duty products. Our 16-gauge lamp cord handles up to 13 amps while safely carrying 300 volts. It is ideal for high amperage appliances and lighting fixtures that use three-conductor power cords.

What is the difference between SPT-1 and SPT-2?

SPT-1 and SPT-2 are very similar. The main difference between SPT-1 and SPT-2 electrical cord is in the thickness of insulation. SPT-1 gives you insulation that's 0.03" thick while SPT-2 is 0.045". With 50% thicker insulation, SPT-2 is the Wire of choice for anything that is reaching close to 7-amps. Both SPT-1 and SPT-2 have the same maximum amperage. At distances of 50-feet or under, SPT-1 & 2 can safely handle up to 10-amps. Between 51 and 150-feet this drops to 7 amps, and at intervals over 150-feet, the capacity is 5-amps. The SPT type doesn't change the maximum amount of power your electrical cabling can handle. Every kind of SPT handles the same maximum temperature of 105°C/222°F.

SPT-3 Lamp cord

SPT-3 is the latest innovation in SPT cable and gives the heaviest duty construction and insulation. SPT-3 Wire supplies insulation ranging between 0.060" to 0.110"/ but the maximum amperage stays equal to that of SPT-2. It handles between 10-amps and 13-amps depending on the cord.
