Low-voltage wire is a type of electrical wire used for systems that operate on a lower voltage than typical household wiring, often under 50 volts. It is commonly used in applications such as landscape lighting, doorbells, security systems, and telecommunications. This type of wire is designed to be safe and efficient for powering devices that do not require a high electrical load. Low-voltage wires are often insulated for protection and come in various sizes depending on the needs of the system. They are a popular choice for outdoor and low-power devices.
