Generic Wire Cable mtw16strred2500r Mtw 16 Awg Stranded Copper Wire

Product Description

The Generic Wire Cable mtw16strred2500r is a 16 AWG stranded copper MTW (Machine Tool Wire) supplied on a 2500-foot reel in red insulation. MTW-rated wire is built to handle the flex, vibration, and heat exposure common inside industrial machine tool enclosures and control panels. The stranded copper construction provides flexibility and conductivity suited to repeated movement and routing through tight conduit or wire trays. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this wire type in production and manufacturing environments.

This wire is used in machine tool wiring, control panel builds, and industrial equipment installations where MTW-rated conductors are required by specification or local code. The 2500-foot reel format supports larger commercial and industrial projects, reducing the need for multiple smaller spools on a single job. Red insulation aids in color-coded circuit identification inside multi-conductor enclosures and panels.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded copper conductor for flexibility and reliable conductivity
• MTW rating suitable for machine tool and control panel wiring applications
• Red insulation for easy circuit identification in multi-wire installations
• 2500-foot reel format reduces spool changes on large projects
• Stranded construction allows routing through conduit and wire trays with less fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as an MTW-rated replacement or supply conductor for industrial machine tool enclosures, control panels, and similar installations where 16 AWG stranded copper wire is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits and lock out or tag out equipment before pulling or terminating wire. Use appropriate wire strippers and termination tools rated for 16 AWG stranded conductors. Do not exceed the ampacity or temperature rating specified for the MTW wire type and conduit fill requirements of the installation.
