Southwire 411010501 18 Awg Machine Tool Wire White 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411010501 is an 18 AWG, 16-strand machine tool wire designed for use in industrial control panels, automated machinery, and machine tool applications. The conductor is insulated with PVC rated to withstand a wide operating temperature range, from -4 degrees F up to 221 degrees F. At 0.108 inches outside diameter and 500 feet per spool, this wire suits runs requiring a flexible, abrasion-tolerant conductor in demanding shop environments. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers for this type of wire.

This wire is suited for internal wiring of machine tools, control cabinets, and automated equipment where exposure to acids, moisture, and oils is common. The stranded 18 AWG construction allows for repeated flexing without conductor fatigue, making it appropriate for moving cable carriers, door hinges on enclosures, and routing through tight conduit bends. Both light industrial and heavy manufacturing facilities use this wire type for low-voltage control circuit wiring.

Key Features

• PVC insulation rated acid-resistant, moisture-resistant, and oil-resistant for industrial environments
• 16-strand construction provides flexibility for routing through conduit and around enclosure hardware
• Wide temperature rating from -4 degrees F to 221 degrees F covers most indoor industrial conditions
• Meets CSA 22.2 No. 210 and UL 1063 standards for machine tool wiring
• 500-foot spool length reduces splices on longer runs
• 0.108-inch outside diameter fits standard conduit fill calculations for 18 AWG conductors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and retrofit replacement conductor for 18 AWG machine tool wiring applications in industrial control panels and automated machinery where UL 1063 listed wire is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician familiar with NEC Article 670 requirements for industrial machinery wiring. De-energize and lockout-tagout all affected circuits before pulling or terminating wire. Use appropriate wire management hardware to prevent insulation abrasion at sharp edges or conduit knockouts. Confirm conduit fill compliance per NEC Chapter 9 tables before pulling multiple conductors.
