The conductor uses 26-strand copper construction with PVC insulation, making it flexible enough for routing through conduit, wireways, and panel enclosures in machine tool and industrial control applications. It carries a current rating of 8 amps at 60, 75, and 90 degrees C and is rated for service from -25 to 105 degrees C. The blue jacket provides color-coding flexibility for control wiring schematics and panel builds. Electricians and industrial maintenance techs pull this wire when wiring motor control centers, CNC equipment, and automated machine panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMTW wire is specified for use inside machine tools, control panels, and industrial equipment where flexibility and heat resistance are priorities. This spool is well suited for new panel builds, rewiring projects, and service work on automated machinery in manufacturing and production environments. The 500-foot length covers most mid-size panel or machine wiring jobs without needing a partial spool. The blue color is commonly used in control wiring diagrams to denote specific circuit functions, helping electricians maintain organized, code-compliant wiring layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 AWG, 26-strand copper conductor for flexibility in tight routing paths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600-volt rating suitable for industrial control and machine tool wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-amp current capacity rated at 60, 75, and 90 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVC insulation rated from -25 to 105 degrees C for wide temperature range service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue jacket for color-coded panel and control circuit identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500-foot spool reduces splicing on larger wiring jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard MTW-type machine tool wire suitable for use in motor control centers, industrial control panels, and automated equipment wiring applications where 16 AWG, 600-volt stranded wire is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 310 and any applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out all circuits before pulling or terminating wire. MTW wire is rated for use inside machine tools and control enclosures and should not be used as general building wire or in wet locations unless separately rated for that service. Use appropriate wire terminals and torque connections to manufacturer specifications for the terminal hardware being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConductor Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConductor Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStranding\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26 Strand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MTW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 amps at 60, 75, and 90 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: -25 to 105 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.123 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpool Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 pounds per 1,000 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GENERIC WIRE CABLE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: mtw16strblu500r\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GENERIC WIRE \u0026 CABLE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268131914034,"sku":"MTW16STRBLU500R","price":166.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308909149.jpg?v=1780699895","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/generic-wire-cable-mtw16strblu500r-mtw-wire-16-awg-500-ft","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
