Southwire 411020503 Machine Tool Wire 16 Awg 500 Ft Orange

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411020503 is a 16 AWG stranded machine tool wire intended for internal wiring of machine tools, control panels, and industrial equipment. Built with polyvinylchloride (PVC) insulation in a high-visibility orange jacket, this wire measures 0.12 inches in outside diameter and is supplied on a 500-foot spool. With 26 strands, it offers the flexibility needed in tight cabinet runs and moving assemblies. The insulation is rated for continuous operation up to 221 degrees F and down to -4 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. Resistance to acids, moisture, and oil adds durability in machine shop and manufacturing settings.

This wire is used in the internal wiring of CNC machines, motor control centers, industrial control panels, and automated equipment where flexible, oil- and moisture-resistant conductors are required. Electricians and industrial maintenance technicians install this wire when building or servicing control enclosures that require UL-listed and CSA-certified conductors. The orange color supports easy circuit identification inside complex panel layouts.
