Electrical Wire
$367 per 1,000 Feet
- Electrical wiring, also referred to as building wiring, is used to provide power to buildings and structures
- The key buyers include residential and nonresidential developers, utility companies, telecom companies and more.
Electrical Cable
$9.10 per 50 Feet
- Electrical cables are multiconductor cables used to deliver energy, data, and communication services for various building and industrial
applications - The key buyers of these products are industrial operators and residential and nonresidential developers
Electrical Conduit
$31.81 per 10 Feet
- Electrical conduits are tubing systems designed to help protect and route electrical wires through buildings or other structures
- Electrical conduits are used extensively in wire installations and are commonly made of steel, aluminum, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
Fuses
$41.66 per Fuse
- Electrical fuses are current-interrupting devices designed to protect electrical circuits from excess current
- When too much current passes through a fuse, the wire in the fuse melts and breaks the connection to the circuit, thus protecting it from damage
- Common buyers include electronic equipment manufacturers, electricians, construction companies and automobile manufacturers
Electrical Safety Devices
$148 per AFCI Breaker Device
- Electrical safety devices include ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs)
- Electrical safety devices help mitigate the risk of serious injury from an electric circuit. A GFCI is a device that disconnects a circuit when it senses that electricity is flowing through an unintended path (e.g. a person or through water) in order to reduce the risk of electrocution
- AFCIs disconnect circuits when electrical arcs are detected in order to protect against electrical fires
- The top buyers of electrical safety devices include electrical contracting firms, construction firms and building operators. Suppliers can be categorized as a manufacturer or a distributor
Electrical Enclosures
$783 per Unit
- Electrical enclosures protect internal components, such as electrical controls, wiring and equipment, from environmental forces, including
weather and access from unknown users, as well as internal electrical incidents such as electrical fires - Industrial manufacturers, construction firms and government agencies are a few examples of buyers that purchase electrical enclosures
- Suppliers include both large and small manufacturers and distributors

Electrical Frequency Meters
$401 per Device
- An electrical frequency meter is an electronic instrument designed to measure the frequency of an alternating current (radio wave) and display the results in hertz, kilohertz or megahertz
- Electrical frequency meters are most commonly used as test equipment in laboratories, manufacturing industries and utility companies
- Electrical frequency meters are also used to troubleshoot communication systems, detect leaks in microwave ovens and tune transmitters
