Southwire 411010505 Machine Tool Wire 18 Awg Green 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411010505 is an 18 AWG machine tool wire rated for use in industrial control panels, machine tools, and automated equipment. Insulated with polyvinylchloride (PVC), this wire is built to handle demanding environments where exposure to acids, moisture, and oils is common. It carries a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F and a minimum operating temperature of -4 degrees F. The 16-strand construction provides flexibility during routing through tight conduit runs and wire bundles. Each spool delivers 500 feet of continuous wire, giving technicians enough length for large panel builds or multiple smaller runs. Electricians and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This wire is suited for residential and commercial machine tool wiring applications, including CNC equipment, automated assembly lines, and industrial control panels. Its oil-resistant and moisture-resistant PVC jacket makes it a practical choice in manufacturing environments where fluid contamination is a routine concern. The green color coding is commonly used for equipment grounding conductors, though always verify local code and panel documentation before terminating. The spool format allows for clean payoff in both panel shops and field installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician following applicable NEC requirements for machine wiring and control panel construction. De-energize all circuits before pulling or terminating wire. Verify wire gauge, insulation rating, and color code against the equipment schematic before making any connections. Do not exceed the rated maximum operating temperature of the insulation in the installation environment.
