ST is a hard-service cord, jacketed, the same as Type S but of all-plastic construction, rated 600 volts at 60 to 105 degrees C.
ST, described in hard-service terms, is a jacketed hard-service cord of the same general construction as Type S but built entirely of thermoplastic, or plastic, materials. Rated at 600 volts and for temperatures from about 60 to 105 degrees C depending on the construction, it provides durable, flexible portable power. The all-plastic build offers economy along with resistance to moisture and chemicals.
As a hard-service cord, ST withstands the flexing, handling, and mechanical stress of demanding portable applications, supplying power to tools, equipment, and machinery. The temperature range indicates the conditions it can operate within.
In commercial and industrial settings, thermoplastic hard-service cords like ST supply portable power where durability and a 600 volt rating are needed. Recognizing the designation is part of identifying cord suited to the application.
Because it is a hard-service cord, ST withstands the flexing, handling, and mechanical stress of demanding portable applications, supplying power to tools, equipment, and machinery, with the temperature range indicating the conditions it can operate within at 600 volts.
At Windy City Wire, the focus on quality low-voltage cable and cord includes thermoplastic hard-service cord types like ST. Supplying cord with appropriate construction, ratings, and temperature range helps customers match products to demanding portable power needs in commercial and industrial settings.
