Banded Sets vs. Type SC Individual Cables: What's the Difference?

Our 190A, 120/208V Banded Sets are popular because of their versatility and reliability. They’re made with color-coded Series 16 Camlocks, (4) #2 feeder Type SC Cable, and (1) #6 grounding Type SC Cable.

So, how do they compare with individual Type SC Cables? Here’s a quick comparison: 

• Banded Set
  • The bands are placed every 24” to keep cables tangle-free for easy installation, transportation, and storage
  • Since the cables are banded together, the sets can become quite heavy
• Individual Type SC Cable
  • Cables may become tangled and take more effort to store and keep organized
  • Individual cables weigh less than a Banded Set, so they are easier to move

 Pigtails: Type W vs. Type SC

As you select the perfect Pigtail for your project, keep in mind that our Type W and Type SC Pigtails are two popular options. So, how do they compare? Here’s a quick rundown:

• Type W Pigtails
  • Type W Cable is known for its flexibility and resistance to wear and tear
  • Perfect for use in tough operating conditions and industrial settings
  • 2000V rated
• Type SC Pigtails
  • Flexible, though slightly less durable than Type W
  • Ideal for lighter applications, such as in the entertainment industry
  • 600V rated

Both options offer excellent quality, but selecting between the two will depend on your specific needs. We keep both of these options in stock and offer variations of lugged, blunt, and tinned ends available.
