On hookup wire - ancor has done a wonderful job of marketing...  'nuff said...

Industrial hookup wire equivalent in construction is CSA type TEW aka UL style 
1015.
This specifies a .030" pvc insulation, 600v 105 deg C rating.
Gauge/stranding is as follows:  10/104, 12/65, 14/41, 16/26, 18/16.
You need to specify BC or TC for bare or tinned copper conductors.
