Generic Wire Cable mtw14strblu500r Mtw Wire 14 Awg 500 Ft

Product Description

The GENERIC WIRE CABLE mtw14strblu500r is a 14 AWG stranded copper machine tool wire rated for 600 volts and 15 amps, supplied on a 500-foot spool in blue PVC insulation. Designed to the MTW (Machine Tool Wire) standard, this wire is built for use inside machine tools, control panels, and industrial enclosures where flexibility and durability under mechanical stress are required. The 19-strand bare annealed copper conductor provides consistent conductivity and flexibility compared to solid wire. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers for this type of wire.

MTW wire is commonly specified for wiring within the framework of machine tools, industrial control cabinets, and automation panels in manufacturing and processing environments. It is suitable for use where flexibility is needed during installation and in applications requiring resistance to oils, coolants, and abrasion typical of industrial settings. The blue insulation color aids in circuit identification and color-coding within multi-conductor panel wiring. This 500-foot spool length is practical for larger panel builds or multiple smaller runs from a single source.

Key Features

• 14 AWG bare annealed copper conductor rated at 15 amps continuous
• 19-strand configuration provides flexibility for routing in tight enclosures
• 600-volt rating suitable for industrial control panel wiring
• 90 degrees C temperature rating for use in warm enclosure environments
• PVC insulation with 0.132 inch outer diameter resists oils and mechanical wear
• Blue color coding supports organized, code-compliant panel wiring
• 500-foot spool minimizes splice points on larger wiring projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose MTW wire for use in machine tool and industrial control panel wiring applications requiring 14 AWG, 600-volt, single-conductor flexible wire.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), particularly Article 670 covering machine tools and Article 409 for industrial control panels. De-energize and lock out all circuits before beginning any wiring work inside a control cabinet or machine enclosure. Do not exceed the 15-amp current rating or the 600-volt voltage rating of this wire. Protect the wire from sharp edges within enclosures to prevent insulation damage over time.
