Belden Inc. 39116189100 Ground Cable 16 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 39116189100 is a 16 AWG stranded ground cable with a green and yellow jacket, the internationally recognized color code for equipment grounding conductors. Built with a PPO (polyphenylene oxide) insulation compound, this cable is suited for grounding applications in electrical and control wiring installations. It is sold individually and is commonly specified by electricians and electrical contractors who require code-compliant grounding wire in panel builds, machine wiring, and control enclosures.

This cable is appropriate for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where a dedicated grounding conductor is required. The green and yellow color coding meets widely adopted standards for ground identification, making it straightforward to trace and verify circuits during inspection or service. Electricians sourcing grounding wire for control panels, switchgear, or equipment bonding will find this a direct-fit option.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded construction for flexibility during routing and termination
• PPO insulation compound for resistance to heat and electrical stress
• Green and yellow jacket for universal ground conductor identification
• Sold as individual units (each)

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose grounding conductor suitable for use in electrical control panels, equipment enclosures, and wiring assemblies requiring a 16 AWG ground wire.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage with a meter before making any connections. Stranded conductors should be terminated with appropriately rated lugs or ferrules to ensure a secure, low-resistance ground path. Avoid sharp bends or pinch points that could damage the insulation.
