Alpha Wire International - Alpha Wire International

The Products You Need
Alpha Wire manufactures, markets, and distributes wire, multi-conductor cables, tubing, and related products for electronic and electrical markets.

Founded in New York City as a supplier of wire strengtheners to the millinery industry in 1922, Alpha Wire grew to become a valued supplier to the expanding radio industry through the 1930's by producing wire and insulators for antennas.  Alpha used materials such as rubber and varnish-impregnatied textiles coat wire products. In the decades that followed, business was propelled by the defense industry's electronic needs during World War II and by the advent of television. Alpha’s product line grew proportionately, and Alpha began to explore new applications and introduced the use of plastics to insulate the wire and cables.

Alpha Wire moved our headquarters to our present location in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1964. In 1981, Alpha changed its marketing strategy from independent sales representatives to a dynamic direct field sales force. In addition, operations were expanded to include an international market and an international facility, Alpha Wire International, located just outside London. Alpha’s current sales facility in the UK serves all of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In 2010, Alpha Wire International expanded with the addition of its office in Shanghai, China to serve the Asia Pacific region.

Also in 1981, Alpha entered the booming computer market with its Xtra-Guard control cables. This proprietary line of cables can handle any type of environment: indoor, outdoor, extreme high and low temperatures, chemical exposure, and the like.

Alpha was proud to receive its first ISO 9000 certification in 1994 and ISO 9001 certification in 2000.

During the first decade of the 21st century, Manhattan Wire Products, Dearborn Wire and Cable, and Kerrigan Lewis joined the Alpha family, enhancing our already broad product line with industry-respected brands for the electrical industry, marine applications, and specialty needs such as litz wire.

The part numbers of Alpha Wire consist of three parts:

• Item Number
• Color
• Put-up

All three of these parts must be present to fully articulate an Alpha product.  Examples of full part numbers are:

3080 Black 1000 Ft.
3080-2 1000 Ft.
3080 BK001

As may be seen in these examples, the color may be represented by the full color name, the Alpha abbreviation for the color name (see Color code charts below) or the color number from the Catalog (usually used only on Hook-Up Wire).

Likewise, the put-up designation may take multiple forms.  It may be simply written out or it may be the Alpha 3 digit code as in the third example (Table 1).

Please note that not all color and put-up combinations may be valid on any given part number

 This is a condensed listing of Put-Up Codes. Contact Alpha Sales for additional information.
