MTW wire is built to handle the flex, oil exposure, and mechanical stress found inside industrial control panels and machine tool enclosures. This spool carries 26 strands of copper for improved flexibility compared to solid conductors, and the PVC jacket is rated for continuous operation from -25 to 105 degrees C. At 8 amps continuous, it suits motor control, relay wiring, and low-voltage signaling runs in both OEM machine builds and field service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wire is intended for use in machine tool enclosures, factory automation panels, and industrial control cabinets where UL-listed MTW wire is specified. The red jacket aids circuit identification in multi-conductor panel layouts. Electricians and industrial maintenance technicians pulling new circuits or replacing damaged wiring in machine tools, conveyors, and automated equipment will find the 500-foot spool practical for larger jobs or stocking purposes. The wire suits both original equipment wiring and retrofit or repair scenarios in commercial and light industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 AWG stranded copper conductor with 26 strands for increased flexibility in tight enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600-volt rating suitable for standard machine tool control circuit voltages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature range of -25 to 105 degrees C supports demanding ambient conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVC insulation resists oils and abrasion common in machine tool environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed jacket for easy circuit identification in multi-wire panel installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500-foot spool reduces splices and supports larger panel builds or stocking inventory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an MTW-type stranded copper wire suitable for use in machine tool enclosures, industrial control panels, and automated equipment wiring where 16 AWG, 600-volt MTW wire is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes governing machine tool and industrial control wiring. De-energize the panel or equipment completely before pulling or terminating wire. Verify that terminal block ratings and overcurrent protection match the 8-amp current capacity of this conductor. Avoid sharp bend radii that could damage the PVC jacket and compromise insulation integrity.\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\u003eCurrent Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 amps (60\/75\/90 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600 volts\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\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\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 1000 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\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: mtw16strred500r\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GENERIC WIRE \u0026 CABLE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268172611890,"sku":"MTW16STRRED500R","price":166.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308908495.jpg?v=1780701180","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/generic-wire-cable-mtw16strred500r-mtw-wire-16-awg-500-ft","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
