Wire Twisting Service

Overview

Need single conductors twisted together to speed assembly and improve cable management? International Wire & Cable provides wire twisting for 20 AWG through 10 AWG, delivering consistent lay and neat, production-ready reels. Choose a tight (short) lay for maximum bundle integrity or specify a long lay where flexibility and gentle routing are preferred.

Reel sizes and put-ups vary by gauge and total length. We’ll recommend options during quoting.

Twisting Options

Two single conductors twisted into a uniform pair
Twisted Pair (Standard)
A Bunch of Twisted wires
Samples of Twisted pairs with Strips on the conductors.

Pairs are standard; two or more conductors may be possible by review of gauge, insulation, and total bundle OD.

Compatible Conductors

  • Copper hook-up and building wire conductors
  • Common PVC-insulated singles (e.g., MTW, GPT)
  • Other constructions reviewed upon request

Provide wire spec sheets if available so we can confirm twist feasibility.

Specify Your Lay

  • Lay style: Tight (short) or Long lay
  • Lay direction: S or Z (if required)
  • Target lay length: Provide preferred range or sample

We match approved samples or target ranges whenever provided.

FAQs

What gauges can you twist?
Typical range is 20–10 AWG. If you have a nearby size, share the spec and we’ll review.
Can you set a specific lay length and direction?
Yes. We can target a lay range and S/Z direction when specified. Sending a sample helps us match exactly.
Do you twist more than two conductors?
Pairs are standard. Multi-conductor twisting may be possible depending on gauge, insulation, and total OD—send details for review.
How are twisted wires packaged?
Reel sizes vary by gauge and length for tangle-free deployment. Coils may be available by review.
