Southwire 411010508 Machine Tool Wire 18 Awg Black 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411010508 is an 18 AWG stranded copper machine tool wire rated for use in industrial control panels, machine tools, and related electrical equipment. Constructed with polyvinylchloride (PVC) insulation and a 0.108 inch outside diameter, this wire is built to handle demanding shop-floor environments. It carries 16 strands for flexibility during routing and termination. The wire is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F and a minimum of -4 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor industrial applications. Electricians and machine builders reach for this wire when wiring control cabinets, motor starters, and similar equipment.

This wire is intended for use inside machine tools, control panels, and industrial enclosures. Its resistance to acid, moisture, and oil makes it well suited for manufacturing environments where fluids and contaminants are present. The 500-foot spool length reduces the need for mid-run splices on larger panel builds or production-floor wire runs, improving both efficiency and reliability on the job.
