Product Description
UL1581 : Product Description and Specifications
This cable is engineered strictly to the UL1581 Reference Standard for electrical wiring. Unlike generic PVC options, JOCA utilizes a specialized insulation compound formulated to pass the industry’s toughest Mechanical and Flame tests.
Its core feature is the VW-1 Vertical Flame Rating. If exposed to fire, the insulation self-extinguishes to prevent flames from spreading inside appliances. Combined with superior abrasion resistance, this wire provides the verified safety margin required for internal electronic assemblies and global export compliance.

Advantages
UL1581 : Benefits and Features
Zero-Stress Routing: The insulation is engineered to be pliable. It navigates tight corners in compact electronic devices without kinking or springing back.
Fire Stop (VW-1): Validated by the VW-1 Vertical Flame Test. The material self-extinguishes upon removal of the ignition source, preventing fire propagation inside the chassis.
Oxidation Proof: We utilize Tinned Copper strands. Unlike bare copper, this resists corrosion (“Black Copper” effect) and accepts solder instantly without aggressive flux.
Global Compliance: The insulation compound is fully RoHS-compliant, ensuring your end-products meet EU environmental safety directives.
Circuit Traceability: Available in a complete spectrum of industry-standard colors. This simplifies troubleshooting and wire identification in complex harnesses.

Production Processes Of UL cable
JOCA produces UL wires using a fully automated workflow. The cycle synchronizes copper drawing and stranding with precise PVC or XLPE extrusion. Instead of waiting for post-production checks, we employ continuous inline monitoring—using laser diameter gauges and spark testers to catch defects instantly. For multi-core variants, the line handles cabling, shielding, and jacketing to exact specifications. Before shipping, every batch faces final electrical and mechanical inspections to verify full compliance with UL standards.
Packing For Shipment
To meet various transportation needs, there are many methods of packaging that can be used.
Have more questions?
Q: What is this wire used for?
A: General Internal Wiring. It serves as the standard “hook-up” wire for electronic appliances, control panels, and meters. It is the safe, compliant choice for internal connections that don’t face extreme environments.
Q: UL1581 vs. UL758: What's the difference?
A: Think of it this way:
UL758: The “Catalog.” It defines the specific Style (like Style 1007 or 1015).
UL1581: The “Test Lab.” It defines how we test the wire (Flame tests, flexibility, aging). When we say “Meets UL1581,” we mean it passed the physical stress tests.
Q: Is it flame retardant?
A: Yes, VW-1 Rated. It passes the UL1581 Vertical Wire Flame Test. If the wire catches fire, it will self-extinguish shortly after the flame is removed, preventing fire spread.
Q: Operating Temperature & Voltage?
A: typically rated for 80°C and 300V/600V (depending on the specific Style linked to it). It handles standard device operating temperatures comfortably.
Q: Why use Tinned Copper conductor?
A: To stop oxidation. Bare copper turns black and corrodes over time, making it hard to solder. We use Tinned Copper to ensure the wire stays bright, conductive, and easy to solder for years.
Q: Is it RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The PVC insulation formulation is free from lead and hazardous heavy metals, making it fully compliant with EU RoHS directives for export.
Q: Can I customize the print or color?
A: Absolutely. We can print your custom text (e.g., your company name or part number) directly on the wire. We also offer a full spectrum of colors for circuit identification.
Q: How do I order or get a sample?
A: Direct from the factory. Don’t guess the specs. Click the “Contact Us” button. Tell us the Gauge (AWG) and Color you need, and we will arrange a quote or sample for your approval.
