You can enter your desired cut lengths above — up to 5 different lengths per order. We’ll automatically calculate the total footage and quantity based on your entries. Please note that larger quantities or complex cuts may affect shipping method or processing time.
Please follow the rules below for valid cuts:
• Cuts must be between 500.00 ft and 30,000.00 ft.
• Any length within this range is allowed.
This product may contain a colored stripe based on your selections. Stripe pattern or color may vary between cuts and spools. If stripe uniformity is critical to your application, please contact us before placing your order.
Note: Stripe customization may increase lead times for certain products, as striped wire is made to order and not typically stocked.
