The wire jacket, also known as insulation, is the plastic covering around the conductor that electrically insulates the cable. This can be both the internal insulation or the outside jacket seen by the user. Typically, red, black, green, or white, the insulation color is standardized but can also be customized for the application. The insulation and jacket material will also drive the temperature rating, flexibility, and overall resilience to the elements and chemicals.
